Christmas Cheer

We have had the joy each year of traveling to Walla Walla each year for Christmas. 

This year was full of fun, food, family, and joy just as years before.

Early in the week, we strolled through downtown going to the candy shop, toy store, and book store. We had warm beverages and really just enjoyed the small town slowness before Christmas.  

Hazel also got a light picture. She just refused to smile each time we tried :) 

Cedric might have been sick for the beginning of the trip, but he cheered up by Christmas Eve. He may enjoy donuts as he went into Safeway and ran right to the donut case, he knew right where to go. 

Here is Steph, Jason, and Hazel at their first Christmas Eve as a family of 3.

Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year. I love the chaos our family traditions have of all my extended family exchanging gifts. I love the 7 little ones running around now who are the next generation of cousins. I love the ribs and just being around the cheer.  

Our family of four! 

One of Cedric's Christmas gifts was an amazing race car track. He still is playing with them at all times of the day. Lucky us that someone knew he loved cars. 

Stay tuned for the fun of Christmas morning!
