It was the Reilly Christmas this year, so we packed up the van and headed north. There was significant snow fall before we arrived and then wind which resulted in these huge snow drifts in the front and back yard. The kids had a blast playing on the snow hills which meant we didn't even leave the house for sledding!
Another fun Christmas Eve morning bowling with some of the Reilly's family friends. The kids are actually getting the hang of it.
Raegan was very excited to hang out with her cousin Maddie, but Maddie wasn't quite so sure.
We had enough people for a cast of the Nativity this year.
The Wise Toddlers had difficulties staying on task.
But Nora was the perfect baby in swaddling clothes.
The number of grandkids has nearly doubled since the last Reilly Christmas. PopPop's lap is running out of room!
Christmas morning: the quiet before the storm
Santa brought iPads!
Raegan enjoyed her cheetos on her bench of presents
More sledding on the drifts
And more wind and shoveling
We warmed it up with some swimming
And sweetened it up with ginger bread decorating
Of course we included movie night, with all the treats and popcorn
Gavin couldn't get enough of Jude
Nora was blessed while we all were home.
Another beautiful gown made by Nana
And the family gathering was complete with family pictures
What a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful family!
