Christmas Festivities Begin!!

On December 16 we had our gift opening with my family. We normally do this on Christmas Eve after the church service, but thought we'd try something different this year! It's kind of nice to spread out the festivities so that we don't get "Christmas-ed out!"

We pick names for gifts, and Mom & Dad also got everyone some gifts as well. There were 10 of us there this year! I think it's the first time we've had that many (6 of us, plus our 4 significant others). Our last family Christmas before the grandchild(ren) start taking over!

This is as close as we get to a photo of David from this night! Haha

Thought we should get a shot of my *almost* 38 week belly

Mr. Sherman was so well behaved the whole night. He only tried a few times to sneak something off the table. 

Courtney made this amazing brie, brown sugar, craisin pull apart bread and threw it in the oven. SO delicious!

Gorgeous tree and so many presents!

Always an amazing spread of delicious food!

This picture is super cute. Mom & Dad celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on December 20th as well. They are truly something to aspire to.
