Our 11th Day of Christmas

Our eleventh day of Christmas was the big event.

It was great, it went too fast and we're spent.

Yep, that about sums it up.

From Christmas Eve dinner and gifts at my parents...

...to setting out cookies, milk and carrots...

...to trying to get a nice pic of the kids and ending up with this...

 ...to the Christmas morning magic...

 and the simple toys bringing so much joy...

to a lovely brunch with Jeff's family...

...to a little relaxing time {in my reindeer slippers of course}...

 ...and finally Christmas dinner with my family.

 We hosted the entire day and loved the bustle in and out of the house.

I also loved that the kids could stay put and enjoy the generosity of their friends and family.

It's now New Year's Eve and we're heading to a party.

Even though the holidays are almost over I'm determined to get to 12 days.

 And I really can't wait to share the last and one of my favourites of our days of Christmas.

 Happy New Year and wishing you all the best in 2014!
