OK, so here are pictures from the rest of our holiday celebrations! We went to my grandma's house on Christmas Eve and had yummy food and exchanged presents as usual. On Christmas we ate breakfast at Todd's parents house with the whole fam and did the present thing there as well. Todd made some YUMMY homemade cinnamon rolls with chocolate chunks inside. They are sooooo good! After playing games and just hanging out, we headed up to my parents house for more presents and Christmas dinner. Our traditional dinner (for the last few years anyway) of Cafe Rio/Costa Vida foods was delicious! After more games and just relaxing, we headed home. The day after Christmas we had a breakfast with Todd's whole extended family (cousins, aunts, etc.) and had the usual breakfast casserole and good times chatting. What a fun time of year!
Izzie getting super excited to open presents on Christmas Eve. :)
Iz loved her Pooh Bear from our cousin Zack. Thanks Zack!!!

What a tired girl! But SUPER sweet nonetheless. :)

Wow! What a great Christmas we had. We were super spoiled. We did also want to mention that we are so thankful for being able to celebrate Christ's birth each year. We know that is what the season is all about. Hopefully we're able to teach Izzie all about baby Jesus next year. We're excited to see what she does. With that said, Happy New Year and be sure to be safe!

So cute! Izzie has gotten so big. I thought you were the cook of the family. I need Todd to teach me how to make those cinnamon rolls. My mouth is watering just thinking about those chocolate chunks!
Izzie is so cute and I'm glad I finally got to see at the breakfast. We always have fun at the breakfast, and it's so fun to see evreyone and be able to visit with each other. Glad you had a good Christmas.
What ADORABLE pics of little Izzie - she is so funny! Glad she got Disney board books - you're probably more excited about that one than she is:)
She is so sweet! What cute pictures. I love that you and Todd take the traditional picture in front of the tree every year! I can't believe how big she's getting!! I can't wait to see her--maybe at the next get together???
OK That yawning picture is my favorite. I hope Izzie loved her 1st Christmas!
I can vouch that Todd's cinnamon rolls were pretty amazing. He combined two of my favorite things- cinnamon rolls AND chocolate!! Genius!
We had so much fun seeing Izzie's first Christmas! And just so you know- we've been playing lots of Candyland, Ladybug, Trouble, etc. etc. Thank-you so much! It's been so much fun to have those games.
