Lilly's 1st Christmas

Seven Christmases in 48 hours....WHEW!!!!
We were able to attend 7 Christmas gatherings from the 24th to the 26th. Here are some photos from that crazy but exciting time!!
We started our Christmas marathon with Brad's mom's family. It was great to see everyone and show off Lilly. We then met up with mom and dad and Sid and DeAnn at the Christmas Eve church service. It was beautiful as usual and Lilly slept through most of it...unforunately, she didn't want to sleep that night!
All Lilly cared about on Christmas morning was eating!! We had a very sleepless night on Christmas Eve and had a big Christmas day ahead of us...needless to say...we were exhausted!!
We spent Christmas morning at Granpa Steve's and Uncle Chris'. They spoiled me rotten! Here I am pooped out in Grandpa's arms!
We went to see Brad's grandparents for Christmas Day lunch. Lilly took to Brad's Granddad right away! She absolutely loved him! He loves his great grand-daughters and knows how to spoil them! We think this picture is too precious.
Getting ready to SPOIL the grandkids at Gigi and PawPaw's house. Seriously...you would have thought Santa dropped his presents off there! Logan and Liam had piles surrounding them making it difficult to see them at times. Lilly and Lainey enjoyed their clothes and toys even though they were both just about asleep. Brad and I were so grateful for the Laptop computers mom and dad gave us. We are very lucky!We got to spend time with Grandma Dorothy and Pop on the 26th. Grandma made some yummy enchiladas and spoiled us with presents, as usual! We were amazed by the fact that we had to keep removing layers of clothes from Lilly instead of add them at the end of December! We had a great time hanging out and catching up...there is never enough time!
We had a wonderful time at Grandma Lil's with the entire family! It has been a while since so many of us could gather and it felt like old times. It was loud, boisterous and obnoxious at times and we savored every second of it!! We always love our time there and Lilly was worn out by all the commotion.
This is a perfect example of how Lilly felt by the end of our holiday celebrations. She was pooped!! A few days of rest at home were much deserved. She was a trooper through it all and dazzled everyone with her precious face!
