We kicked off our Christmas celebrations with my brother Collin and his family. Justin and I wanted to prepare a meal for them originally and it slowly turned into a Christmas thing.
We made cinnamon rolls for Collin and Sarah, along with other brunch types foods. Justin did most of the cooking so I could enjoy cuddles with Henry.
Collin Levi is a wonderful big brother to baby Henry!
He was also VERY impatient about waiting to open presents.
Justin cooking the potatoes. He also made bacon and a delicious egg and cheese quiche.
I loved the lights my brother had decorating his hallway. Their two cats had a field day with the tree but at least they couldn't get these lights!

Big Collin needed help too!
Collin Levi did not notice the bow on his head.
Bernard on the other hand did notice the boy on his head

About a week later my brother Brandon and his girlfriend Maggie visited from Washington state.
Collin Levi was very excited about more presents!
We had a wonderful time visiting with Brandon and Maggie.

Oliver keeps being a good boy as usual. He didn't fuss with any of our Christmas decorations.
I made him a special Christmas "present" bed because I'm that crazy cat mom.
It was way too cute.

Since Collin Levi's birthday is Christmas eve we celebrated his birthday a few days early so it would be special.
He got some awesome toys for his 3rd birthday!
The amazing car tower from Grandma and Grandpa.
Mom enjoying a few moments with the baby. It's hard to get time with him when he has so many aunts and uncles wanting to hold him!

Justin and I exchanged our gifts to each other on Christmas Eve.
Justin gave me this adorable RWBY shirt!
I gave Justin a Funko pop from one of his favorite video games Don't Starve.
Justin's family try to get together for Christmas eve every year. We had some people overour home for games before heading to Grandma and Poppa's house.

We had a fun and busy Christmas! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season with your family and friends. I had intended to post sooner but I always seem to get into a slump after Christmas. Probably just a mix of being sad the holiday is over and being tired from all the festivities!
Love, Rebecca
