Favorite shots from Christmas

Christmas was really great this year. We both got to spend time with all of our family. Christmas Eve was spent with my mom's side of the family - the Janischs, Christmas day was a mix between Chris's parents and my dad's side - The Kastens. Later on Christmas day we got to see Sydnee which was a real treat because we normally don't get her until a few days after Christmas. So we spent Christmas day night and the whole day after with her. 

I honestly went into Christmas day thinking it would be a lot worse than it was. Let me explain a little bit: Last year my Grandma passed away from cancer and everyone was still sort of in shock last Christmas. I remember crying a lot when we went to her church on Christmas day because everyone missed her so much. Since I was a kid we've had Christmas at Grandma's house and last year since everything was still up in the air with her estate we had it at our house instead. But this year my Aunt moved in to my Grandma's house so we had it there again. I thought it was going to be hard but with all of my family there it wasn't. We just missed Grandma together. But my cousin had brought her newborn twins so they were a nice little distraction and reminded me why we keep going. 

Overall it was just a really mellow drama-free Christmas. No families arguing, no kids being crazy, all-in-all just a wonderful time spent with family and loved ones.

So enough rambling, here's some pics!
