It’s Christmas Day, which for many people means a lot of eggnog, giving out the obligatory family hugs, listening to super loud holiday music and ripping paper off presents. It also means stalking our favorite celebs’ Instagram and Twitter accounts to see what they’ve posted, and they rarely disappoint. This year we got sitting on Santa’s lap throwbacks and a special peek into how the stars celebrate Christmas Eve. But the age group that probably gets the biggest kick out of the festivities is the kids, of course, so we want to show you how much some of our fave stars’ kids are enjoying themselves.
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the Obama family, and they sure are a photogenic bunch, aren’t they?

Britney Spears’s kids are looking adorable too cool for school in their coordinated outfits. Mom took this before they went to their school play. Aww.
John Legend and Chrissy Teigen (and baby Luna) look happy as clams. And look at that Santa outfit! Our hearts are melting, send help.

We had to share another one, because Chrissy looks way too happy to be holding baby Luna’s present. Hatchimals are really popular with the stars’ kids this year — although some celebs admitted they felt pretty awkward getting the little guys to hatch.
Case in point: NPH. Haha! Maybe it wouldn’t be so weird if the eggs didn’t make those, uh, uncomfortable noises.

No celebs-and-their-kids list would be complete without Queen Bey. Mariah Carey and the gang just make it even better! We are loving the kids’ outfits, and mamas look FIERCE.
Arrow star Stephen Amell is looking a lot less dangerous and broody in this adorable pic with the little one and Mr. and Mrs. Claus. We’d love to just sit by that fireplace.
Kevin Jonas adores his daughter. She adores her new dollhouse. It’s okay, Kevin, it’ll be forgotten in a few days. You’ll always be her papa.
Jessica Simpson’s son apparently watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas and ran over to his tree, loudly proclaimed “I hate Christmas!” and pushed the whole thing over. So cute. At least it was only HIS tree. Because apparently you get your own tree when your mama is a star.
We want to wish everyone Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate! Celebrate each other, and spread some love before we close out 2016!

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
