christmas morning!!! james and i were up, muffins were in the oven, and we had to wake the girls up! it was 8 AM. we were shocked! but they happily woke up and excitedly ran to the kitchen to wait at the sheet and have some muffins and egg nog.
they were all so fun this year! excited about every little thing, and wanting to try out everything! james and i loved watching them. rosie slept through this part little sweetie, and we can't wait to see how she reacts next year.
we showered, got ready, and headed over to my in laws for brunch and more presents. we were spoiled again and so dang excited for another fun season at lagoon. my mother in law does a scavenger hunt for the kids to find the passes and it has become one of their favorite traditions of christmas day.
then it was back home to play with toys, nap, and just enjoy the day together.
we went back over to my in laws for dinner and to visit. rosie enjoyed a little nap under the christmas tree.
back at home, james watched a show with the girls and fell asleep. i love this picture of him with adi. so peaceful and such a great ending to such a wonderful day.
last year on christmas morning, i found out yet again, that i was not pregnant. this was the 16th month in a row. i was absolutely devastated, and it being christmas made it sting a little worse. i cried in the shower and tried to keep it together the rest of the day. i prayed so hard that day that we would be blessed with a baby again. fast forward to this christmas morning. i woke up to this precious baby girl and immediately felt tears in my ears and so much gratitude in my heart. so much! i don't know that i've ever felt that thankful and that close to my heavenly father in the same moment. it was precious. i picked rosie up and just held her and kissed her. it's a christmas memory i will never forget.
