We enjoyed such a wonderful Christmas this year! We actually hosted two separate Christmas celebrations at our house--one for my family and one for Jayme's family. On Christmas Eve, J and I decided it would be special to celebrate our own family Christmas with just the three of us under our tree that morning. We thought it would be a good way to give Emma some practice opening up gifts and keep her from feeling overwhelmed with everything. It was so much fun and Emma was a crack up to watch! She would open a gift (VERY SLOWLY) and then say, "WOW!" So entertaining!

Grandpapa and Grandma Terry got everyone in the family musical instruments for Christmas so we could play Christmas songs together. What a great idea! We had such a blast hanging out the whole Watson/Blakely clan this year. It had been way too long since we were all together at the same time.
