Christmas with the Butts

After we got ready Christmas morning we headed to Piqua to spend the rest of the day/night with my family.

 

I tried to get a family pic....lol:

 Misty and I decided we all needed matching pjs. We went to several Targets and ordered online and returned several sizes but we finally had matching jammies that fit everyone so of course we had to get a family picture.

 The Goffs:

 Eli is obsessed with Jax:

 Isn't she the cutest:

 And these two are so sweet and are inseparable:

 Everyone loved the Beaty's new dog, Josie:

 The big twins:

 We have so many traditions on Christmas with my fam - first up was finding the pickel. We did one for the kids:

 Then the adults:

 Winners:

 We also did the saran wrap game but I didn't get any pictures.

 Soph and I during bingo:

 The next morning we did our gift exchange with my parents.

 Clearly we're all spoiled!

 Cousins annual picture on the steps:

I just love Christmas so much. I love seeing Christmas through the eyes of my kiddos and I love all our traditions. I love spending Christmas afternoon/evening with my whole family playing games and just being together. It's the ONE day a year we are ALL together.

Christmas morning

This year El was off Christmas Eve so he helped me play Santa the night before.

 

Eli seeing everything for the first time:

 He went straight to his tractor:

 Soph went straight to her scooter:

 Opening presents:

 Stockings:

 Maya was happy:

 Clearly it was exhausting:

After we opened the last gift, I made breakfast while El napped and the kids played with all their new stuff! It was a great morning.

Christmas Eve

This year we went to our new church for Christmas Eve. I wasn't a huge fan of their service but I was glad the four of us could go together.

 After service we had the Beatys, Clarks and Kelleys over for our annual birthday party for Jesus.

We took our family pictures in front of the tree:

 Had lots of good food:

 I tried getting a cute pic of Eli and Jax but Eli wasn't having it:

 All the kiddos eating:

 Trying to get a picture of 11 kids is very difficult:

 Then we sang happy birthday to Jesus and the kids blew out the candles:

 Soph had the same dress as the Clark girls so of course we had to take a picture:

 After everyone left santa came:

I love our Christmas Eve traditions!
