Christmas with the Whites

For the first year ever, we did Christmas with our families early.  Due to jobs and additional families to coordinate with, we decided Christmas would be most enjoyable with my side of the family on the Saturday before.  We were all a little skeptical at first, but it ended up being wonderful because we had the whole day and never felt rushed or like we were trying to move on to the next place.  Everyone got to Mom and Dad's a little before lunch.  We all drew names and exchanged those presents while Chance was napping.  


Once we ate and Chance woke up, we opened more presents.  It was so much fun!  As usual, we went around the room youngest to oldest and watched each other open.  There were fun surprises for everyone!  The other great thing about having the whole day was, we had plenty of time to play with our new things!


That night we had a delicious meal of Mom's lasagna....a family favorite!  What a great day!
