Christmas with the Epleys

Christmas Eve we always get together with Ryan's extended family. This year was a little more lively with two almost-two-year-olds. Hailey and Maddox are about 6 weeks apart in age and they had a ball playing and running around this year.
They loved to play with Beau (Ryan's parent's dog),

and they found the piano. We all heard a beautiful little concert. ;)

Christmas Day we spent some time with both my family and Ryan's family. It was a long day for Hailey but she loved seeing everyone. Once again, she didn't really care about opening that many presents. She was just happy playing with the first few things she opened. But she definitely got a little spoiled by her aunties and grandparents. They got her lots of new toys, books and clothes. They will keep us busy for a long time to come!

Hailey's mountain of presents was almost as tall as she was!

testing out the durability

"cooking" with her new Elmo fork and spoon. She would have played happily with this for hours if I didn't make her open another present.

 We are so thankful to be close to family for the holidays! I still need to get pictures from our Christmas with the Browns but I have lots to post from our trip to Tennessee too!
