Christmas eve is spent in the USA with Matt's family, Christmas day is us at home in the morning, then to my parents for the morning/afternoon (opening presents and eating "specials" for brunch), followed by dinner with my dad's side of the family, and finally Boxing day is celebrated with a dinner with my mom's side of the family. And to answer the obvious question lurking, no, my parents are not divorced, they just have large families so we do not combine the two!
So today, I only have photos from Christmas eve to show you at this point.
This is how we found Landon sleeping at the end of a nap. Matt says this is the norm now for Landon sleeping.

Another gift for Landon, what could it be?

And there ends a beautiful Christmas eve spent with special family. We all had a lovely time.
Now we're just recuperating at home!
