We stuck to our usual Christmas routine on Christmas Eve-- Mass and then dinner at my mom's. It is always so great and Christmas Mass always seems to really make it feel like it truly is Christmas.
Christmas morning, we woke up in our own house (for the first time in our married life!)... Miss Kennedy was excited to see what Santa brought her! I made a Christmas brunch and the Harvies and my family joined us. Then it was off to spend Christmas evening with the McKenna side of the family.
The day after Christmas, we made our annual day-after-Christmas trek to Camano Island to have a celebration with Sean's mom's side of the family.
Whew! We were exhausted but oh so blessed and happy to have such a lovely 3-day celebration with our sweet girls and wonderful family!

One of my all-time fav photos of Sean... so him. I love it.

Wait for it, Wait for it...
Bam. What a stud.
So fun to watch the cousins all play together... there are 8 McKenna grandchildren... all under the age of six!
more cousins (and young aunties!)
This picture is fun because we were all pregnant with these babies, last Christmas! :)

And, just in case you haven't fallen asleep during this extremely long post... here are a few of my favorite Christmas decorations from around our house.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012!
Stay tuned for photos from our New Years trip to Leavenworth.
