We had a December to remember this year. And the majority of it revolved around the Christmas season. We started off with Santa pictures on December 7th.
I love the crying Santa pictures. Poor Alexa freaked out as soon as we sat her down. The following weekend I was put on call from work on a Friday night, so we used that opportunity to see a live Nativity at Mandeville First Baptist Church and a huge light display at our local park. I didn't take any pictures but it was a great night.
Avery's school Christmas play was December 19th. This little bit was being a ham before we left.
Avery got to be Gabriel the angel. She was so beautiful and proud of her important role in the play (momma was too!)
God bless their teachers, its like herding cats to get them all in some semblance of orders.
I had to work Christmas Eve, but Josh took the girls to Christmas Mass at his parents church. I thought they looked so beautiful before they left.
those eyes!
Avery was up and ready to go at 4am, but had to wait till I got home from work at 7:30 to open presents. They were ready to go!
Santa ate some of his gingerbread house.
Alexa got all kinds of new stuff to play with!
They probably would have been just as happy with the candy in their stockings. I had to make them stop eating to open presents!
Avery was so excited about her rainbow loom kit.
Christmas aftermath...
Avery also got a trampoline and spent most of Christmas morning jumping on that while momma took a nap from working all night. That afternoon, we headed down to Josh's grandparents house to celebrate with his family.
We had 9 kiddos ranging in age from 11 years old to 2 months. The house was bursting with kids and noise but love and family as well! The men fried some amazing turkeys and we had lots of sides and sweets to go with it. It was a great day and we are so blessed to have such a close knit loving family.
