We are so blessed by Chris's job; however, every job has it's unpleasant sides. For Chris it's not being able to take off work around Thanksgiving or Christmas. With family out of town, it makes it difficult to be with them when Chris can't take off work. That said...my family has been super sweet and accommodating. Almost every holiday since we've been married, they have packed their car to the brim with luggage and Christmas gifts and made the long trek to Ohio (usually during a snow storm). We really can't say how grateful we are for their sacrifice. This Christmas was extra special--- they met Lillia for the 1st time!!
Lillia was introduced to Poppie, Aunt Beth, Aunt Kate, and Uncle Jon for the 1st time. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her with Aunt Beth :-(
One of my favorite Christmas Traditions--- Christmas PJ's!! Grandma spoils us all with Christmas PJ's that we get to open Christmas Eve. Thanks Grandma!! We love our PJ's!!
We started Christmas morning with "Frosty"--- Frosty was Mark's first and favorite movie. I hate to admit it, but there were many times during the early weeks after Lillia was born that we'd watch "Frosty" a couple times back-to-back. Frosty taught Mark how to say "Happy Birthday!"
Daddy's slippers are too fun!

Poppie made Mark's day and took him outside to play in the snow. Way to go Poppie!! This was Mark's 1st "Good Thing" that he shared on his own.
