glory, glory....

....it's finally Christmas morning!
big bad bows, daybeds, golf clubs, barbie cases and more...





once we enjoyed our santas, opened some gifts and had Christmas breakfast ~ monkey bread of course, we headed south to spend the rest of the day at my mom's!
all the cousins looking so nice!
and just like Christmas eve, i don't have a ton of pics...we opened gifts, had an AMAZING dinner of bake stuffed shrimp and lasagna and played and played and played....the best was when we broke out the Just Dance 3....now that was a party!! i had a blast dancing with the kids....and i'm sure there is an incriminating video floating around out there waiting to rear it's ugly head :)

the next morning we came home to have Christmas with mimi and pops at our house...such a nice visit!!

we are very blessed by lots of family and friends....and are so, so grateful for each and every one!!
i hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas as well :)
