Richling Christmas

Christmas Day

 Christmas morning was spent at Jim & Marcia's.

Oliver and Paisley both got scooters from Santa.

Eden got a ball pit from Santa that she wasn't too keen on at first so the other two enjoyed it for her.

Grammy and Paisley got in some good nap time snuggles.  I think Pais slept for nearly 3 hours.

Paisley shared her snuggles with Aunt Jaime too!

Christmas Eve Tradition

 Every Christmas Eve we open up new Christmas jammies after church.  This year we recycled from a couple years ago and only Oliver actually got new ones, but nobody seemed to mind.  Well, maybe Riley minded.

Christmas Eve Mass

I know I say it every year, but this will always be my favorite Christmas tradition.  When I was a kid it was at midnight and we would open presents, eat supper, and take naps before church.  Luckily it was at 8:00 this year and the kids did really well.

Most impressive was this photo that Haley captured with less than five tries quickly in the back or church before we sat down.  We even match the wreaths!

Our attempts at my parents' house before didn't turn out as well.

Hugging on cousin Axel.

Soooo sleepy!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always at my parents house and this year was no different.

Cooperating kids in their coordinating outfits would have been better...

...but we got there.

Selfies with the kids seem to be the only way I'm included in any photos.

Eden slept through all the present opening chaos, which was ok because then she was happy and we could watch Oliver and Paisley open better.  Plus, she was just fine having all the attention on her when she opened hers up after her nap.
