We started the day at Kent and Nedra's for brunch. This is the first year in quite a few that we have all been together for Christmas. It was so nice to be able to celebrate with Mike's mom and dad and I know that they were happy to have all of their kids and grandkids in the same place. We are so thankful that they live just a mile down the road. It makes holidays much more special. 
After leaving their house, we headed to Aunt Karen's to celebrate Christmas Eve evening for the second year in a row.
Prior to heading to her house, Jason, Mike and I made a stop at the cemetery to pay our respects, to Grandma and Grandpa, read the Christmas poem and pray. We weren't able to make it to the cemetery last year due to Grandpa's health and Baby Sayer and that was the first time that we had missed visiting on Christmas Eve since Grandma passed. This year it was extremely important to the three of us to make it there despite the weather since this marked the first year without either of them there to celebrate with us.
Christmas Eve evening, as always, was wonderful. This year was especially fun as we watched Sayer play with the presents under the tree and shake a lot of the gifts (like Great Grandpa used to do). We had so much fun with one little one this year - next year we will have three little ones to celebrate with - a 2 year old, an 11 month old and a 6 month old! Things will be BUSY!!
