Tradition changed up a bit this year for Christmas Eve. Usually we come into Holland and go to church at 6pm then to my dad's to do gifts, food, etc. But since my girls normally go to bed at 6:30 and we still have to travel to Dorr that night, it has been all a bit too rushed in the past. This year, we got to Holland by 11am and did half of the presents, then ate lunch, opened more presents, and relaxed! We got to actually see what we opened and enjoy some of them. We took the girls to go see Grandpa, the guys watched football, and snacked all day. Not sure if this tradition will stay or not, but it was definitely more relaxing and less rushed!
Brenda's famous Christmas cookies (just like Grandma's!)
Macey eyeing the presents and trying to be patient.
Watching the dogs outside...she liked them more from a distance, that's for sure.
Excited about the blanket Aunt Brenda made.
More watching the dogs.

The bottle JUST dropped! Whoops!
"Thanks Aunt Brenda!"
Buff Brenda!
Very excited about a new hat.
"Yes! It twirls!"
Trying out the new nail polish. A good job for Aunt Brenda.
Can you tell my girls get a bit spoiled from their Aunt Brenda and Bumpa? :) I tell them EVERY year, "The girls don't need much at all!"
