Bishop Family Christmas

Oh being married and sharing holidays...sometimes it becomes quite the puzzle trying to get it all worked out, but so far it always turns out well!

This Christmas was our turn to be in South Carolina with my family! No complaints here!!

So to do this, we had Christmas with the Bishop family a few days early.The timing could not have been better, seeing as how baby Jackson was with us for Christmas!! The Bishop family Christmas occurred over the weekend, December 21-23.

Let me just tell you this...our car, excuse me, SUV was PACKED!! (Yep, you read that right...SUV. As of Dec 19th, we own a Toyota Highlander. Brad is driving it right now until he gets a truck-potentially next summer and then the Highlander will be mine! It's black and gorgeous. I love it!) Honestly, I don't even know how we got to Davenport. Brad kept coming in the house and telling me we couldn't fit anything else...but we did!

The problem was...we had to pack all of the giant Christmas gifts for the Bishops, Christmas presents for the Brunner's, as well as the dogs, their stuff, and our travel bags for a week! Whew! Good thing we got that SUV. No lie...I have no idea how we would have made it SC with all of that.

We got to Brad's parents house a little later than we had planned on Saturday. I was finishing icing the cupcakes when Matt, Karen, Abby, and baby Jackson arrived! We had a yummy Christmas dinner, prepared by Momma B, then it was downstairs for presents!!

And there were a lot of them! Christmas with the Bishop's is always fun. Momma B got all of us girls a pan that had our named etched on it as well as a lid that says," From the Kitchen of Kristen Bishop." So cute!! Brad and I had asked for family to get things from our registry...we like to make it easy, but along with those items, we got a lot of other fun/personal stuff. Overall, a wonderful family Christmas.

I have to admit, my favorite (and I think most of us can agree with this) part was having baby Jackson with us for Christmas! Now that's a good Christmas present!!
