The month of December was a bit of a whirlwind, filled with lots of family fun and of course tons of holiday celebrations. We even ended 2015 by attending the awesome wedding of one of our favorite couples, Sam and Michaela.
Christmas with Brinley was super fun this year as it was the first time she really understood Jesus being born and Santa coming with presents. We spent a lot of time talking about all of it. So fun to watch her grow and learn about all of these new things.
These pictures are crazy out of order, but I will just describe in captions. :)

 |
| No more pictures, mom! |
 |
| Brinley was way more into Christmas this year and it was funny, it took her a super long time to open all of her presents as she kept stopping to play with everything. |
