Brudam Brigade Holidays

It was our last Christmas at Casa Versailles and it was probably the best so far.  The boys are in that sweet spot zone where the excitement of Christmas Eve is infectious,  They go to be super giddy at the notion of what's to come the next day.

In attendance were all the Milam Men, Gramma and Papa, Avo (a new addition), Ronnie (long time veteran) and Joanna (making her second appearance).

It's a nice, relaxed day, without a ton of chaos.  We wake up, the boys open a few presents, we eat breakfast, they open a few presents, we eat a late lunch, they open a few remaining presents and then eat some leftovers.  Good times all around.

A few highlights below:


The first presents of the day (after stockings, of course)
