We had an enjoyable Christmas. My parents drove up from Phoenix this year and my brother was visiting from South American.
The kids are always able to open their stocking first thing Christmas morning and they are able to see their gifts from Santa because he does not wrap them at our house. Keaton was the first one up at 5:00am!!! Yes, you read that right! We go to church Christmas morning, so we got ready for the 9:00am Mass. Once we got home we had our Christmas breakfast then sat down to open gifts.
It was a very light Christmas this year. The kids each got one gift from Santa, little ones got two. Their gift from Mom and Dad was our drive to Disneyland in November! They also had a gift from Papa and Nana (my parents), their Uncle Norm and Uncle Heath and Aunt Julie (my brothers). Papa John and Grandma Lori sent each of the kids a gift too. They had a few gift cards to spend from Great Grandma and a Great Aunt.
I forgot to charge the camera battery so all the pictures are courtesy of my Mom!

Merry Christmas! I read your blog - but I've never commented. We are a Holt family also. I don't post on the BB too much anymore but I read still. I'm on Facebook too much to keep my blog updated lately!
I am commenting!! I love keeping up with your blog and seeing your beautiful family. It is fun to watch "our girls" growing up.
