Christmas + Wedding

Christmas in Pittsburgh with Jonathan's mom. Justin and Chrissy's wedding in Dallas. 3 weeks of travel. One tired family. Lots of pictures.



Opening one present on Christmas Eve - yes, it's a Snuggie!




Maggie and Mark.



Making cookies for Santa with Nana.










Christmas morning - is that candy in my stocking? I don't even have any teeth!







Stella helped Maggie open her presents.






At an aunt and uncle's house with the rest of the extended family.
This was the best of 4 shots of us - there was not one with all 3 of us looking at the camera. :)




Modeling her new Ariel jammies from GG (great-grandma). She put them on immediately.



Sister snuggles! Stella is making silly faces - shocking, I know.







Self-portrait.




If Stella gets to make silly faces, so does mama. Pictures by Stella. :)







Maggie needs to practice her silly faces a little more.




At the Canton airport. Not only did they have this awesomely huge play area, which we had entirely to ourselves, they also had a separate nursing area with comfy chair and table. 50 points for Canton airport!







At Cracker Barrel in Dallas. Had to introduce all of the Irish folk to the wonders of biscuits and gravy and unlimited coffee refills. This is Stella in her new crown (thanks, Chrissy!).


Getting ready for the wedding - Stella was the cutest flower girl EVER.




This is the only shot I got from the actual wedding. The lighting was too low to get a good picture. She lasted about 1 minute before getting a semi-panicked look on her face and coming to sit with me. Then she realized she had way too many flower petals left and started spreading them all around where we were sitting. :)




The reception - AWESOME venue.

Enjoying a cupcake.



With Aunt Mic.




With the bride and groom. Stella was way too busy dancing to be in the picture.


Rockin' with Sarah, a bridesmaid! This was probably around 11pm...Stella is a party animal.


Dancing with Daddy!




At the airport, ready to be home, with a hot cocoa to cheer up a tired and grumpy girl.



Last but not least, Stella and Mags dancing to GG's singing snowman!
So....Merry Christmas everyone.

WOW! That is a lot of travel. Great photos. Sorry we missed you in TX, but I'm glad you got some comfort food. :) Cracker Barrel is awesome.

Just what I needed on my Monday morning!!!

That picture of Stella with the Starbucks cup is perfect! It totally captures "life in the Pacific Northwest" to me :)

Thank you sweetie! Great pictures, capturing all 3 of my girls so wonderfully :). I'm with Anna - just what Monday morning needs.

I love the non-silly picture Stella took of you sitting on the floor - adorable. I recommend using it as a fb profile pic sometime.

Great post, fun pics & video!
