Butts Christmas

After waking up at our house Christmas morning as a family of three, we opened presents, played, got ready, then headed to Piqua to spend the night with my family. We had so much fun! It was great seeing a lot of our family we don't get to see that often.

I love all the traditions we do at my parents house including having a pj party every year, finding the pickle, and of course BINGO. This year, Soph helped me with  my bingo cards.

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas day. First, Soph woke up to find all her presents from Santa, a note from Santa and a note from her elf Daisy. After she opened all her presents we told her Santa left her another surprise....she ran up to her old play room (after we told her where it was) and she found her new big girl, bunk bed:

 

She was soo surprised:

 

 

 

 And loved it:

 Of course she climbed to the top right away:

 Top bunk:

 I tried to get a picture of the whole thing:

We visited the Foote's the day after Christmas (not sure why these pictures are out of order). It was great seeing them. Soph had fun with Jaden and Jillian:

Christmas morning:

Soph asked for three things this year for Christmas 1. a dog (I told her we couldn't get another dog) 2. a dinosaur game and 3. a big girl bunk bed. Here she's playing with the dinosaur game with El:

Stacking some of her new gifts:

Then we went to my parents that afternoon. I'll have another post on that later. Here's our family picture at my mom's house with comparisons from the past couple of years:

Christmas Eve

After church this year we hosted the Beaty's and the Clark's. All the kiddos had so much fun. First, we did our gift exchange with the Beaty's:

 Uncle El and Jax:

 Addie and I:

 Then, once the Clark's came we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus (another post with the video will be coming). Then the kids had a picnic on the kitchen floor to eat their cake lol:

 We tried getting a picture of all the kiddos in their jammies in front of the tree. This was REALLY hard:

 Soph loving on her cousin Jax:

 Soph isn't always the nicest to her cousin Addie so when I catch her being sweet I HAVE to document it. :)
