{Luckau Sibling Gift Exchange}

We did secret sibling gifts and cousin gift exchange... It was a lot of fun. Ryan and Angie opted out of the drawing this year so no one had to worry about shipping to and from Alaska. But we skyped our New Mexico family- and it was like they were here with us!

Christmas 2012

We had a nice quiet Christmas morning. Mary woke up about 8am and we opened presents. Mary LOVED opening presents and kept saying, "Santa is soooo cool!" It was cute... After we opened gifts we went to Graves and had some breakfast. after we left there and got ready for the day, we then went to my Mom's and had Christmas dinner... It was a great Christmas!

SANTA CAME

Finding her stocking!

Opening her stocking gifts

She loves the Merida doll... she just barely saw this movie like a couple weeks ago- and LOVES it.

Christmas Dinner... So festive!

Mary playing with Aubreys scarf. Kind of a creepy picture- looks like Mary has hands coming out of her neck... no, thats Aubs hiding behind her!

We played Words With Friends

It got quiet and we were wondering where Mary had gone... she was just on the floor... ASLEEP

My cute stylish daughter. The cute hat and scarf are from Aunt Nancy!

Christmas Eve 2012

We had Christmas Eve at our house. Jeff, Tami, and Chad joined us. I didn't get any pictures of anybody for some reason... Here are the treats we ate, we watched Forgotten Carols, and then went to bed for Santa to come!!

Mary and her cute new pajamas!

Our little family in our new pajamas! I love this photo.

Mary set out cookies and milk and a letter for Santa Claus.

This is the letter she wanted to write to Santa. She told me exactly what she wanted to write and then signed her name. 

All the children were nestled all snug in their beds....
