Annual Ison Christmas FHE

One of our favorite holiday traditions!
This is always such a fun get together.

I love this picture of Levi and Grandma chatting.
They both seem to be thoroughly enjoying the conversation.

One of my favorite parts is singing carols

with Grandma's hand bells.
The kids really did a great job following the chart
and ringing their bell at just the right time.

Here they are choosing their hand bell.


Here are our kiddos with Santa.
Lizzy only decided to stand NEXT to him
when she noticed that he wasn't delivering gifts to people's seats.
I was glad her gift was toward the bottom of the bag
so that she could see many of her cousins
successfully retrieve their gifts from him
and return to their families unscathed.
After she sat down with me again she said,
"He's really not too bad, huh?"
Nope, not too bad this year either.

3 little ones attended this year.
Levi is on the blanket with 2nd cousin Lydia,
trying to hold (more likely chew) her hand.
She is about 6 weeks younger than him and a doll!
Love the dress dawling!

Here are Levi and Sterling
and their awesome mamas!
