Christmas 2015 Part 2

Today I'm finishing up the last of our Christmas celebrations.

The day after Christmas my girlfriends and I got together for lunch, to exchange gifts, and to laugh. A lot.

 

Two of my friends also got selfie sticks so we had lots of fun with those!

 

 

See loads of fun??

I love these ladies more than anything. They are so fun and the thing that is most important that we all have in common? Our love for Jesus. I know at any given moment we can text (we have a running group message that the men in our life love) and at least one will respond with words of encouragement. For that I am so blessed and thankful. I mean we all went to kindergarten together (for the most part.)

 

We had such a fun Christmas together!

 

 

 

That evening was my mom's side family Christmas.

You're welcome Abby :).

What did we do before selfie sticks???

 

I'm also so thankful that my best friend is marrying into the fam!

 

 

Sunday morning before church I was enjoying the last day of our Christmas being up. 

And my SIL got us this ornament for Christmas.

 

Phew we had a busy few days there but it was filled with family, friends, & love and that's what matters.

Christmas 2015 Part 1

Christmas Eve Noah & I both worked till 11 or so and then we had the day off. We opened gifts from each other and then it's a tradition that Joe comes to Christmas service with us. 

Watching TV under our table.... :).

After church we have Christmas with my dad's entire family (great aunts & uncles and second & third cousins). 

Merry Christmas Eve from the Callahan's!

Christmas day is jam packed but I love every minute of it! We head to my in-laws at 7:30 am to open presents with my SIL and her husband and their little boy. 

LJ is the cutest :).

He wasn't completely into opening presents just yet...he liked to take a piece of the paper off the present and put it into his mouth :). 

I love this little boy.

We then arrive at my parents' house to open with my parents and siblings.

Selfie stick for the win!

Then off to my aunt & uncle's to open with my dad's siblings and their children.

This family. They are my jam. 

My cousin's birthday is on December 25 so we had cookie cake in his honor :).

He's ten!

Christmas wears you out!

The men played trivial pursuit.

Notice Noah's bright green sweatband???

It's from Joe :). 

Back to my in-laws for their extended family Christmas. 

And for the overload pictures of LJ....he loves seeing himself in the camera :). 

We had such a wonderful Christmas and we are so blessed by our family. 

Part 2 coming Monday :).
