The greatest Christmas gift!!!

We were so thrilled and blessed to have family with us for Christmas this year - perfect timing with the new house and the ability to finally have people stay without cramming onto a fold out couch, wah wah. Our sister in law Jen and our nieces Abby and Anna came all the way from Alaska, and my Mom came all the way from D.C.

Our niece Abby is almost 7 years old! She's changed so much but still my precious girl, we always have so much fun together. Here's us cooking in our aprons:And making Christmas cookies together:
Abby and Grandma also made breakfast together one morning and decorated the table so beautifully!Snuggling with Galileo and Rob:Anna is 20 months old and couldn't be cuter if she tried. She is just such a little sunshine, so full of life and love and is the best snuggler. Here she is with Grandma Lisa, Uncle Rob and moi.
She also loves shoes almost as much as her Auntie Beth does.

Everything she says is way too cute. She called me "Fef" and Rob is "Bob". Here's Anna showing us her mad naming skills.





And we taught Anna the chicken dance using one of those huge music birthday cards, but unfortunately she wouldn't show us on camera - but this video ended up being so funny anyway.



And here's her face after a pasta dinner - it was everywhere!!! Yes, Anna, you're a mess!




Here's the girls in their princess outfits that they'll wear at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando when they meet my brother for his mid-deployment leave from Iraq:
Adorable! Stay tuned for more family time over the holiday:
