The best gift!

There really is nothing better than celebrating Christmas with family and friends. Here is a little recap of our holiday...

We enjoyed the Elsasser family Christmas on Friday night, and then opened presents and had a delicious lunch with the Rapp side on Saturday. We drove to Decatur on Saturday night and were able to attend a Christmas Eve Service (Lucy did AMAZING thanks to some new blocks) and opened presents and had other great meal on Sunday. Lucy and Penelope loved spending time with their cousins, especially Judah, Maggie and Lucas.

We drove back home on Monday night and got back just in time to get together with a bunch of our friends (Marcus's high school group) and all their kids. Seven kids under six years! It was a little crazy but super fun! (One six year old, two (almost) four year olds, two two year olds, one one year old, and Penelope).

Marcus took work off thru Wednesday, and we enjoyed having him home for a few extra days. I especially enjoyed sleeping in and a few long naps!

All in all, a great holiday and a WONDERFUL year! We are so thankful to have been blessed with another baby and now to have two happy, healthy - beautiful little girls. We couldn't ask for a better gift!

We are excited to see what 2012 has in store for us! (Penelope is too, I promise!) Happy New Year!
