Josh & Danielle Files | Christmas 2014 | Personal Post

Christmas gives us that comfy, cozy, warm, fuzzy feeling because we get to be with our family all day. Fun traditions abound, laughter fills the air, hugs & gifts are exchanged, & we all think about the most amazing gift we ever received- Jesus.

It has been a Christmas family tradition for YEARS to gather at G-ma’s & Tata’s house. Ever since I can remember, we’ve gone there on Christmas Day. Some of my fondest memories with my sisters & cousins are at G-ma & Tata’s house! It’s my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings all together & I LOVE IT. The family is growing quite a bit every single year so there are always more babies around having fun and providing us with entertainment. My G-ma thinks her basement is going to get too small eventually.

It’s silly and fun. Christmas_2014_0006My other one-year-old nephew Mason was pretty happy.

Here’s my Tata showing off his new John Deere hat. Look for him in the Street Fair Parade in Columbiana this year with his spiffy John Deere tractor.

She just didn’t get the memo to do the pregnant lady pose. :) Christmas_2014_0015After the fun at G-ma & Tata’s house, we went to Josh’s parents’ house for Christmas dinner. Our niece Gianna & nephew Aiden are a riot.Christmas_2014_0016Christmas_2014_0017Christmas_2014_0018Christmas_2014_0019Christmas_2014_0020Aiden is a goofball.

Addie loves to open gifts! I am not sure why she’s holding up sweatpants that are as tall as she is, though.

He thinks he’s very talented at guessing so we always try to trick him.Christmas_2014_0031Christmas_2014_0032I can’t believe this little girl is four already. She is the sweetest little niece we could imagine.Christmas_2014_0033Yes, I am wearing an MC Hammer “Can’t Touch This” shirt. 🙂 HAHA! Christmas_2014_0034We hope you had a lovely Christmas celebration with your family! There will not be a New Years Eve recap on our blog because all you’d see is a sentence that reads: “We accidentally fell asleep on the couch at 10:30.” 🙂 Stay tuned to the blog tomorrow for our favorite engagement images of 2014!
