Christmas 2013 in Pictures

We had another wonderful Christmas with family and friends! Lots of celebrations, parties, get-togethers and of course loads of presents for Sawyer's 2nd Christmas. We are so thankful for the love and generosity for our little guy and feel very blessed starting the new year.  This is definitely my longest picture posting ever. Guess I should have broken it up into multiple posts but thought this was more fun!



And without further ado, I give you our Christmas in Pictures ....
