Christmas With the Ashfords

After our family time on Christmas morning, we headed to Peter's parents' house for an Ashford family Christmas! Laurel was immediately ready to jump into all of the fun! She loved having so much going on and so much attention!


Aunt Betsy gave Laurel a huge bear that is almost as big as she is!

Laurel loves this bear and always goes to hug it and kiss it

By this point of the day, Laurel was definitely into unwrapping gifts!

Bibi and Papa gave Laurel a banana for one of her gifts! Do they know her or what?

Getting some sweet time with her Aunt Betsy

Uncle Bruce was Laurel's buddy that day! She kept going to him to be picked up or just wanted him to play with her!

We had a fun time getting to play with our newest niece, Riley! She's such a cutie and we loved seeing all her sweet smiles!

Cuddling with Aunt Lauren and reading Riley's new book!


Laurel getting in on a family picture with Uncle Bruce, Aunt Lauren, and Riley! She loved it!

Sweet Riley :)

Cousin picture! As usual, Laurel was definitely fascinated by what Baby Riley was doing.
Family picture

A couple of attempts at a picture with Bibi and Papa! I learned on Christmas that it is not a good idea to wait until the end of the day to start getting family pictures! Laurel is beyond sitting still at that point!

And that's our girl!

Another family picture! Laurel's not smiling, but just getting her to look at the camera is the main goal these days. :) And again, I waited until late to have a family picture taken!

It was so much fun having almost all of the Ashford family all together! It was such a sweet time! We left Christmas night and decided to go on ahead to Virginia to see my family instead of waiting until the next morning to leave. In true Laurel fashion, she fell asleep the last 15 minutes of the car ride!
