Celebrating Christmas

This past Sunday, we celebrated Christmas with my mom's side of the family. We had a great lunch with some of my favorites and then we let Owen and Ben open their gifts.

Owen LOVED everything he got!!! He is such a lucky little boy!
Here is my Grandma.... She just turned 75 a few weeks ago.

4 generations...

Ben and Owen with their Great Aunt Debbie. Debbie is always so good with the kids. She'll have her first grand baby in Feb. I know she is super excited!



Gramma Karen and her grand babies...

To me, Christmas just isn't Christmas without seeing my family. I have never woke up Christmas morning without Mom, and since we have kids now, she comes to our house and we try to get together with our other family members before Christmas. It's not exactly the same, but it works and I guess as we grow and have families of our own, we have to sacrifice some old traditions for new ones.
