I've mentioned this in the past but with four families to celebrate Christmas with, two being out of state and not including our own nuclear family Christmas, the holiday gets a bit chaotic. It's wonderful to see all of our family. And I am extremely thankful that Kate has so much love in her life, but towards the end of the holidays it's nice to be able to wrap them up.
Nonetheless, we kicked off our holiday celebrations this year with an Eckenrode Christmas at Brian's Mom's and Stepdad's house. It was nothing short of Christmas success! Everyone enjoyed each other, the kids ran around like wild banshees, Santa visited, there were presents and wrapping paper EVERYWHERE, and the night even ended with
Frozen on the TV. We didn't stay for the entire movie because we were headed to MD the very next day, but we made sure to put it on when we got back to our house for a little settle down time before bed.
Christmas has officially started!

| Hello, Santa. |
 |
| Ooohhh! He even brought gifts! |
 |
| Kate wasn't very excited to sit on his lap though. |

But then she realized she was getting a Frozen
dress and bag and was content to oblige. |

| For just a second! |
