a very westwood christmas.

and now i give you part two of the christmas explosion!

presents!  and one more pic of our pretty tree.

my mother-in-law virlie always decorates her home so beautifully at christmas.  i love all her stuff, especially her red bird plates.

christmas cards!  one of my favorite parts of christmas.

virlie and rocky, my second favorite dog in the world.

grandma von!  this is her first christmas in utah for many, many years and we loved spending our christmas eve with her.

we celebrated christmas eve & christmas on the 23rd and 24th {which i love doing - we get an extra day of christmas!} because i had to work.  ryan and erin slept over and we got up on christmas eve for a delicious breakfast and gifts!  we got spoiled big time.  aren't those bowls virlie is opening darling?!  i'm super jealous.

erin, brad, and the family photo we had taken on thanksgiving.  i need to get my hands on a copy so i can post it.

it was such a lovely holiday.  we are lucky to have such amazing families.

today is the last day of the year!  i am excited for 2013, i think some big things are in store for us.  like a house!!  fingers crossed.

see ya next year!  {it never gets old saying that...}
