So....I tried to do a "12 Days of Christmas" theme for our Christmas photos, and that totally didn't work. So here they are the boring ol' normal way. :)
 |
| Melting snowmen cookies - aren't they cute? :) |
 |
| Kloe made a friend at the cookie-exchange party. :) |
 |
I was laughing because all the other kids in the Santa line were about 3 years old. :)
My kids were embarrassed, but I made them sit on his lap anyway! |
 |
| Kloe's first Christmas band concert. So fun! And so we come full circle.... :) |
 |
| Treats for teachers. {and just a few for me :) } |
We had two Christmases this year - our family Christmas on Friday morning, then we traveled to the Mister's mom and step-dad's house Friday night to spend Christmas with them.
At home....
 |
| Someone couldn't stand to be away from the presents. :) |
 |
| Love. :) |
My mom made me this awesome scrapbook-style cookbook with recipes from members of our family. Isn't it fun? I love it!
Santa must have known Jacob was in desperate need of a new football!
 |
Old ball - poor thing! I had no idea it was in such bad shape! Made me so sad
when I saw that he had tried to cover the end with packing tape. :( |
 |
| New. Much better. :) |
 |
| Kloe got a much-longed-for sit-n-scoot, aka Ezy Roller. :) |
It was a great Christmas!
For round 2, we had originally planned to leave for my in-laws' on Saturday morning, but the weather forcast was changed to include 3-5 inches of snow during the night along the route we would be taking, so we left Friday evening instead. Good thing we left early! The roads were completely clear for about half of our trip, then literally, when we got to the half-way point and turned south, the roads were covered! It snowed non-stop from Friday night through Sunday around lunch time. We got about 8 inches! But by Monday afternoon when we got ready to start home, it was almost all gone. :)
 |
| Isn't this cool? A tidal wave of snow coming off the roof. |
 |
| Bet these cactus (cacti?) aren't used to seeing snow! |
Best. Mother-in-law. Ever. :)
Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas, filled with the love and presence of Jesus, in whom we live and move and have our being.
I kept your post up on my screen all day, it just made me happy. Glad you had a nice Christmas! Those cookies and the kids' pics are adorable and the recipe scrapbook and Cricket machine/fun stuff is SO wonderful!
ReplyDelete*ooh sorry, I just realized I spelled Cricut wrong. I'm not in the know of things such as Cricut, as I was a CM consultant for a few years. lol :)
ReplyDeleteglad your christmas was wonderful. I noticed that at Kloe's band concert she was the only one not in jeans. The choir concert was the same way! Bubba was so mad that I made him dress nice. I'm so sad that things are so casual these days.
