Christmas Day

Christmas Morning! It started a little late for us after Libby decided to wake up several times throughout the night (Booo!!), but was a great day! Presents, food, family, and fun galore!

Libby enjoying some of her stocking presents from Santa. We were all ridiculously spoiled!
Diann opened her stocking a bit later than the rest of us, but got pretty spoiled, too.

Libby got to meet her cousin Chase for the first time and they were both sporting some cute Christmas-y attire. I think Chase was more interested in Libby than she was in him, but guaranteed that will change over the years! ;)

Paul was definitely the winner in the stocking competition - he got a million bucks in his stocking! Yeah, Santa means business in the Macbeth household!!!

Chase brought over his Santa present to show off. Lily loved it, too. Could there have been a more perfect gift for John's boy, or what?! Never too early to get him started riding bulls, right?

The ever-evasive pickle was particularly difficult this year! Bryce was the winner (again!) and Tall Paul, Brad, and I still remain in the losers club of Pickle Ne-er Do Wells!

Present time! The Itos with their loot.

After last year's 5 hour opening ceremony, Paul and Diann mandated that we could all open at the same time this year. A few of the "same for everyone" gifts were opened together, and then it was a free-for-all. I kinda missed the old way, but we were certainly done a heck of a lot sooner!

Mindy somehow managed to get the coveted seat - lucky girl!

The John and Jamie Macbeths had a whole corner of the room for their growing family. I love the bow in Chase's hair, Reily with a weapon, and Keaton digging in his pocket for his cell-phone!

Michelle and Taylor showing the gift we got everyone this year. It says "Families Are Forever" over their last name, you just can't see it very well because of the lighting.

Brad with Libby showing off her THIRD Christmas dress of the year!

After a fantastic Christmas dinner, Brad and Paul rummaged up an old stroller from the garage and Jimmy-rigged it into working order so we could go for a walk. Everyone kept warning us crazy Californians of how cold it was out there and said we were crazy to go out, let alone take our baby girl, but we did it anyway. Tall Paul joined us and we had a great time! I sure do love the great outdoors.
