somewhere in there, ashley, barbie, mike, marcie & kelcie came over, we ate dinner, and exchanged gifts but we apparently didn’t do too well with pics this year {we didn’t even get out of our jammies all day so it’s really not that surprising Smile}…

what an amazing christmas!! we were so blessed to get to spend christmas with so much of our family! although it wasn’t everyone {we missed you england crew!}, we were especially happy to get to spend it with james & liz!!
