This year we celebrated Christmas with the Speights a week early--and had 2 Christmases in one day! That morning we had the immediate family Christmas at Landon's parents house, with just his parents and brother and sister (and families). Then, that evening all of his extended family on his dad's side came over for dinner and a game night--so much fun!
Abagael handed out all of our presents before we began
Everybody's ready...let the fun begin!
Uncle Landon and Abagael getting in a quick round of Gator Golf in the middle of opening presents
Landon's mom's reaction as she found out (because of her Christmas present) that Landon was doing the Ironman in June. Priceless.
Landon's dad's reaction. Possibly even more priceless.
After presents, Abagael tried on her dress up wedding dress that GranPam made for her...and proposed to my husband! :)the happy couple (she referred to him as "my husband" for the rest of the day :))We then spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and then getting ready for Speights Family Christmas that night--everyone was cooking and cleaning and had various craft/food projects going on. It was fun to all work together to pull it together...and I think everything turned out really nice.
putting the final touches on the food
Pam's towel animals, which were some of the prizes for the night
Abagael and I's cake pop reindeer--which everyone referred to as antenna balls :)
Abagael and her husband putting the final touches on the Speights cake--making a chart so everyone would know where their cake was inside of the huge cake.
she was so cute helping him :)
the family, relaxing a little before dinner
visiting during dinner
and, as promised...the final product, before anyone cut in to it. It wasn't perfect, but we were happy with how it came out. And, we had a blast making it. :)
Thanks for a wonderful day, Speights family. I feel so blessed to not only to have been born into a wonderful family, but to also have married in to one. I am one lucky girl. :)
