Christmas Day

After her/our late night, Cadence spoiled us by sleeping in until about 9:30.
First order of busines ... checking out the goods in her stocking:

Someone sure looks excited!:

Cadence methodically opened her gifts AND took her time doing it. She'd tear off the paper and then insist we take whatever it was out of the box so she could play with it immediately...and y'all know what the packaging is like these days! I think she spaced each gift out 20-30 minutes ... it was a l.o.n.g process:

While waiting for her cousins to arrive and 'lunch' to put on the table, Cadence took some time to beautify baba and daddy:

Once Liv and Allie and the gang arrived it was mayhem ... in a good way:

The kids opened more presents and then we stuffed ourselves with my mom's fabulous feast. There was a little bit of rest and rejuvenation and then we were off to Uncle Mike and Aunt Judi's where the girls accompanied uncle Mike on the accordian with their own instruments this year:

For a second night there was food, drink, family, conversation, laughs and catching up:



Cheers to another great evening:
