Christmas started with a trip to my brother’s house.
My mother bought one each for my brother, Taylor, and me.
Lots of fun, for sure.
Taylor was quick to put his together.
Kelli and I then gave the kids their gifts.
Taylor was super stoked to get a Ravens jersey.
It fits him quite well.
My brother showed me how he expanded the parking pad out back.
Back inside, and Kristi checks for any Christmas text messages.
With the star on the tree…
It was time to say goodbye, and move on to…
Courtney and Dave’s house.
Jillian watched some shows on her portable entertainment system.
Zoey relaxed next to the tree…
While the family relaxed in the dining room…
Dave and I played and sang for everyone.
And everyone else enjoyed the atmosphere.
Any requests?
The three of us sang Taylor Swift’s “Fearless”.
A small family photo…
Followed by a larger family photo.
To end the evening, it was back to our house, where Kristi joined us for the night.
The next morning we enjoyed waking up in front of the Christmas tree.
Santa brought Riley some gifts.
And then we opened our gifts.
Clothing…
Was the order of the morning.
Kelli loves the scratch-offs…
And jewelry.
Snow, it’s a Christmas miracle!!!!
After the morning at our house, it was time to head over to Krist’s house.
When the kids arrived back…
It was present time.
Breakfast was made…
And it was delicious!!!!
Kelli and Ashley played with one of Ashley’s gifts…
And in general, Christmas gift usage was in full swing.
Later that night, we dropped Riley off at home after a walk.
We swung by Kelli’s mother’s house to say hello…
Before heading on to…
My parent’s house for a lobster dinner.
We gave my parents a trip to a B&B for Christmas.
I took this picture of the cooked lobster tails…
But this one shows the size better.
After dinner, we decied to end Christmas with a non-traditional pillow fight picture.
