Christmas with the Mangums

So, every year, I’m convinced that Christmas with my family gets more and more crazy. Probably because every other year so far, someone has added a spouse or babies (or, in the case of 2015, THREE babies).

Look at all those people!! Love them ALL.

Caleb and Nicole were in town, Nama was in town up until Christmas Eve and it was just FUN.

All the great-grandchildren with their great-grandma. Love it!!

With how nuts everything was the rest of her trip, we really tried to soak her in this day. Love my grandmother.

This was the first time we’d been able to meet Nora!! Baby Nora was just precious. Eisley was in HEAVEN with Nora AND Sammy around.

A New Mexico Christmas Eve tradition is luminarias! This year, Gammy got the supplies and the grandkids all got to fill them and put the candles inside. It was SO cute watching them as they lit the candles.

Apparently Nathan was old enough to do it by himself. I tried to not watch because my heart can only take so much when it’s already pumping on sugar cookie fuel.

So pretty!!

These guys were so proud of how good it looked!! I kept seeing them looking out the windows to check and make sure they still were lit. So cute.

We did our annual gingerbread house contest and let Nathan stay up late and make one. He always feels so big when he gets to do something the others don’t.

Hanging with Baby Nora after the Christmas morning chaos. Love her little fuzz head. She’s the sweetest, chillest baby ever.

I forgot Eisley’s pajamas at home one night, so while Jon drove back to our house to get them, Gammy kept Eisley warm after her bath and just read to her. So sweet.

All the Christmas jammied babies!

How are they so old? I just love these three!! It feels like yesterday that we were taking their first sibling picture on Christmas when Eisley was just three days old.

Soaking up time with the littlest miss the night before they were leaving. Christmas is always so crazy and chaotic and full of kids and crumbs and everything else, but I absolutely LOVE seeing all the family together! Can’t wait for the next reunion.
