Last night we had our Christmas gathering at my Dad and Kay’s house. We had a really good time. Payton got to open gifts. And let me tell you, it was so exciting for me to watch. This is the first time she has opened gifts and really realized (somewhat) that she was getting something new and she would actually unwrap the gifts herself.
We are SO blessed to have such amazing families!! I think sometimes I take them all for granted.
