Since Christmas fell on a Friday this year, that meant we had a whole weekend left to celebrate, even after the holiday itself was over! Saturday the 26th was slated for Mike's mom's side of the family this year. We woke up early (as usual) and Rose promptly put on her new princess dress again - because what else would you wear in order to bake a cake, right?!?
While we waited for the "breakfast cake" (our contribution to the family potluck breakfast) to bake, we worked on some art projects. Rose especially loved this
mermaid mosaic!
We also shoveled the ~2 inches of snow we got, and then finally woke up Mike around 9am (!). And then we were off to Trula's!
We got to see Baby Eleanor (and her parents):
And Rose got to play with all her Rohde cousins:
While we adults talked, snacked, and drank mimosas. :)
Aunt Sara brought a fun art project for the kids to work on:
The finished product!
We opened presents:
Rose practiced "twirling":
And we all just basically looked photogenic :)

Rose received a set of princess dolls from Grandma Roles and Grandpa Fly that all the cousins fell in love with:
After all the festivities, it was finally time for nap. Some of the adults visited other family, then we all met up again for the big Fleischhacker Family Christmas party. I was totally overwhelmed so only got a couple photos:
As you can tell by Rose's expression here, it was getting to be past her bedtime by this point!
It was a whirlwind day, but I cherished every minute of it. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
