Even though we spent last Christmas in New York with a small amount of family, this was Stephen's first crazy American Christmas. Stephen is used to small, intimate Christmases in England as he has a small family (I think we just hit 10 members?!) so I knew my hectic celebrations were going to come as a shock to him!
We spent Christmas Eve at my Grandpa Wil and Grandma Mardine's house in Snohomish. It was a smaller crowd than usual this year (Stephen still thought it was huge!) but we had a beautiful dinner and participated in a gift exchange. There was an extra twist to this gift exchange and when nobody won the special prize (a $30 gift card to JCPenney), we all had a second chance. Stephen won and was extremely excited about it!
Here are some pictures of our Christmas on "the Hill."
Ez feel asleep in her high chair minutes before dinner was served.
Stephen would never miss out on food, though, and dug right in!

We decided dinner in her dress might not be the best idea so we stripped her down!
Next, it was present time!
Esme received a lot of beautiful clothes and fun toys but was drawn to the boy stuff.
We ended the evening with traditional family pictures in front of the tree.
Thanks to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa for hosting such a wonderful evening! The food was out of this world! xx
