christmas day at the bodtchers

We were thoroughly spoiled this year. Please enjoy my most favorite pictures of the day:
 



("here mom, take my bow" HA! not sure why this was so hilarious to me, but so glad we got it in pictures)

 
(thanks Johnsons, this is one of Amelia's new favorites)


("mom, no time for posing, PRESENTS!!!")








 
("oh. a calendar... FUUUUUUUN...") I make a calendar for Jeremy every Christmas, but Amelia was not impressed after she had opened her cars.







We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Bodtcher's after we had Christmas morning to ourselves. Grandma likes to spoil, and we like to keep things simple, so we asked for a step stool (Amelia is always so interested when we are cooking), books, and clothes.





I seriously love my sweetheart so much. So lucky and blessed to have him and the family I married into. We got "TELESTRATIONS" (the super fun game I've been raving about for a year now) and a lot of help towards our basement. Again, we're so spoiled.


 
Family pictures, take 1! (with Joshua Robinson!)


Take 2 wasn't much better...


We had lunch, and Amelia enjoyed her cousins toys while they were gone. The three of us took a sweet little nap upstairs before heading over to my parents. Jeremy and I loved reminiscing our newlyweds days.



Amelia was really good at, "can you give this present to..." (such a sweetheart)


 
My parents always cook the most amazing food. I'm so grateful for them and their influence on Amelia. We finally ended the night at Jeremy's Grandma/Grandpa Jackson's:





Grandma Jackson always finds the best presents, for so many kids, grands, and great-grands too! I can't believe she's so motivated and hope to be just like her when my children and their children are grown someday.


it was getting crazy//

Christmas was so amazing this year. What they say is true, the holidays are so much better with children. The same goes with life. So much more exhausting, but so much more enriched and fulfilling. Christmas will always be my favorite holiday, and it'll only get better as time takes it's course. My heart is full.
