Oh, the holidays!

Things have been busy in the Meece household. Several Christmas celebrations, and family functions...we're ready for a relaxing weekend. We had Holiday treats evening at my Grandparents house on tuesday the 22. Before we headed over there we took the 4 cousins to get thier picture taken with Santa. Lydia was so excited to meet him! Her eyes were big and she just seemed enchanted by him! There was a bit of chaos and a little throw up and this is what we came out with...

we got a couple other snapshots too...

Keegan, Lydia, Maya & Addy

On Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Marie's house and did dinner and presents with Nanny's side of the family. Lydia has so much fun with her cousins and just LOVES Joel!

Christmas Morning we woke Lydia up a little after 7am to have her open presents at our house. She was thrilled that Santa came to our house...and ate the cookies and milk she left out!

Then it was off the Nanny & Papa's house. This year instead of matching pj's we all got snuggies! College team ones! We had a delicious breakfast and were all spoiled with wonderful gifts.

After that we were headed to Mamo & Papa's house(oops I forgot my camera). Again, Lydia was spoiled rotten and got so many great new toys and art supplies....including a really cool art tower with 4 stools and storage for crayons, markers, coloring books and clips to hang the artwork! We then went home for naptime and re-grouping. Christmas dinner was at Joel and Angela's. We had a yummy ham dinner and lots of tasty desserts! The day after Christmas we had brunch at SaraLyn's(Matt's sister)and yet another Christmas celebration! Lydia has so much fun with Maci & Mallory...and some day when Marla gets older, Lydia will enjoy her too! They opened presents and played a game and Auntie played castle with Lydia...Santa brought that to Maci & Mallory!!

I got to go to my friend Kirstie's 30th Birthday party and had the opportunity to catch up with old friends...I need to do that more often!!

Lydia got a tutu from Aunt Heather & Uncle Jason for Christmas and it seems to be her new favorite piece of clothing...along with her new dress up outfits!
