We celebrated a Lightsey Family Christmas a few days early, before the Nydeggers flew out to Utah. We all had a blast opening presents in the morning, then playing games with cousins, aunts, and uncles the rest of the day!
We spent Christmas Eve with our dearest friends from Fort Worth. We enjoyed good food and the company of old friends, then the kids acted out the Nativity story. Boston and Cade were wise men, while Hudson and Avery were Joseph and Mary.
After a fun night with friends, we came home and got ready for Santa. This year was so special because we spent it at home. We are blessed to live close to both of our families, so we have spent our entire marriage always traveling to our parents' houses for holidays. This year I was craving the peace and comfort of our own home. It was our first Christmas in the new house, it was absolutely magical to spend it with just our little family.
This moment on Christmas Eve after all the kids were in bed, Santa had already come, and the house was lit with just the glow of twinkly lights…I wish I could bottle that feeling.
This is the face of a girl who snuck away from all the action to lock herself in her room and eat several packages of pez candy!
This was probably the highlight of my Christmas Day!
The whole Christmas break was full of lots of this...
…and this!
