WARNING: Long blog with lots of pictures!
Christmas Eve started out fairly busy. We had to finish wrapping presents, I busted out some cookies, multiple jars of salsa, and went to visit dad. In between all of that Shane came over to meet dear Liam. He liked him.
Later in the day we headed over to The Bradley household to celebrate Great Uncle Mike's birthday and have Christmas with the Bradley side. We ate tons of food, had an annual ping pong tournament, and just enjoyed each others company and played with babies :) This is Chris getting to hold Neely for the first time (she is 20 days older than Liam)
Great Uncle Mike and Liam
Brandi, Jess, and Liam (Neely is hiding in there somewhere)
Both babies woke up and it turned into a crazy photo shoot so here is a picture of what we like to call Neeliam. Liam looks deep in thought, aren't they precious?
This lovely photo was taken by Uncle Michael. It is one of my absolute FAVORITES! Look at that smile.
Paige, Cason, and Sadie playing ping pong. They were having a blast.

Later we headed over to my cousin's house so they could meet Liam. They also adored our sweet boy. Here is Lorenda and Westley enjoying his company.
Finally, Christmas Morning! It was the latest the Snay household has ever woken up, 7:30! Sadie was excited. Here is a picture of her with her new boots.
Matt bright eyed and bushy tailed with his Taylor Swift cd
Liam opening his gift from Santa Clause. As you can see he is thrilled!
Mom with her Tequila Rose. This only comes around at Christmas time and mom loves it so we all decided she needed two bottles. She found it hilarious.
Chris trying on Sadie's new hat and scarf
Dad placed a bow on Liam's head while he slept.
Liam and his Christmas day outfit.
Sadie kept telling us or writing down on paper that all she wanted for Christmas was a purple bike. After we finished opening presents you could tell she was a little sad that there was no bike. I told her to open the blinds at the back door so Chris could sneak out front with the video camera. Then we told her to go get the newspaper. She ran outside saw Chris and said "Hey what are..." Turns around and finds her purple bike. She jumped up and down with excitement and then cried a little. Boy was she fooled! Apparently I forgot to get a picture of her with the bike, although it is all on video :)
After the morning festivities with the Snays' we headed to the Cassons' to open presents. Here is Grandma Casson loving her new calendar.
Uncle Michael loving on Liam
Grandpa Casson enjoying his new water bottle
Great Grandma stopped by and she was able to do this while the rest of us opened presents
After Christmas at the Cassons', Chris and I headed to the hospital to have Christmas with dad and spend a little time.
Later in the evening we all gathered back to The Cassons' for Christmas dinner. Liam was able to meet pretty much everyone. The boy was exhausted after the festivities. Here is Liam with Great Aunt Debbie and her mom.
Creepy picture of Chris and Ronnie. Some days they worry me.
Chris, Mallory, and Natalie
Our first Christmas photo as a family
Neeliam with Paige. She loves these babies, even if she thinks Liam sounds like a pig when he gets snorty.
Liam and Cason bonding together; I'm not sure how to spell Cason's pronunciation of Liam, but it's something like: Yiyam, and it's adorable.
This is how Liam and I ended the night. We were pooped. We had a lovely time with family though and couldn't be more blessed :)
