A Ball Christmas

Mackenzie is one lucky girl because she didn't have just one but THREE Christmases! We traveled from Philadelphia down to Blacksburg to celebrate the holidays with the Ball family. It truly felt like Christmas day all over again! Mackenzie had a blast opening up her presents, interacting with cousin B, playing with Uncle Kevin, and giving lot's of snuggles and love to her MomMom and PopPop! Unfortunately Mackenzie came down with a bad cold, but we learned quickly that nothing gets this little girl down! She still managed to smile, play, try to crawl, and give little love shouts to her favorite cousin (we had to keep them apart due to Zie being sick so she screamed across the room at B instead!). While the girls napped, us adults enjoyed playing "Words with Friends" on our new ipads (thanks Mom and Dad), had shuffle board tournaments, made multiple bloody mary's, helped Dad create his own beer (a gift from us kids), and just had an all out good time! Once again, we were reminded of how amazing our family is and how Mackenzie's presence makes the holiday season even merrier!

On our way to MomMom & PopPop's! (and 7 hours later and she still had a smile on her face!)

New tradition of the "kids tree" downstairs

Waiting patiently to open her presents!

Paper is just as good sometimes!
