Christmas morning is always an adventure in my family. We start the day like any other would begin Christmas morning with opening gifts from Santa at our house. 

 Our next family party begins at 9:00am at my in-laws. The attire is pajamas though looking at the photo above I look a bit "walk of shame" like. ;)
We had a wonderful breakfast and opened more gifts then any one person or child would need! Yes, we know we are very blessed! 
Our big present this year is that we are all (sister & brother-in-law, mother & father-in-law, and the four of us) going to Disney in April!! We are over the moon! 

The second party we go to on Christmas day is at my mom's house. 
Here is what I wore for the second part of my day:

The last photo is what happens when your little sister is your photographer. Thanks Kristen! xo

We had a grilled fillet mignon dinner and the mimosas were flowing. 
With 4 other siblings and 7 grand kids at this party it's a bit chaotic, but that's how I grew up so to me it's just normal. Loud but normal. ;) 

Again, the kids and ourselves were given more gifts then anyone needs. 

Like every year, prior to opening up any toys, the kids load almost all of their toys to give to the Children's Cancer Society (13 bags this year)! 
We know we are blessed so it is important that we give back and our kids know it is important to give back. 

What do you do on Christmas day? 
How was you holiday this year?
