I love Christmas. Love it, love it, love it. Enjoy the pictures of the season...
Here is EZ singing in his first school programs. He turned around so we saw his back most of the time:) But the parts he did sing, you can bet, were outstanding!
Sometime after Miss Belle stopped wearing shoes on her hands she started to only want to wear sweatshirts and dress ups.
We slept under the tree on the 23rd. Actually, I slept in my cozy bed and they slept under the tree and loved every minute of it.
Annual Christmas breakfast. It really was a ridiculous amount of food.
Annual bowling. The alley was supposed to be closed, but I called just to see if maybe they might want to "be open". And they said they would!! Bowling is a tradition.
The fun group. We're lucky to know so many great people.
A Christmas Eve "appetizer" plate and the kids call it.
I attempted a yule log!
The elf brings the kids their jammies when we put the tree up. We had a gingerbread girl, santa, and a little reindeer.
Christmas morning. This is how we'll remember her 2nd christmas. She wanted to have the clothes she wore during the pageant the night before. She pretty much didn't care about any of the gifts. The only thing she did care about was if the scarf and the blue blanket fell off.
Coming in to get our gifts.
Reading books on my bed after the excitement.
The reason for the season. My mom gave us this as a wedding gifts because we were married a week later. It is one of my favorite things I own. Beautiful.
And this...my favorite gift. When we went to visit Santa, Bluebird didn't really ask for anything major, but then she whispered to santa something else. She told me she had whispered something that she wanted him to bring to me for Christmas. I would ask her periodically if she would tell me what she asked for and she always told me, "nope, you'll have to wait till Christmas". She did tell B-rad though. So Christmas morning came and we opened gifts and she got what she asked for, but I could tell I didn't get the gift she asked Santa to bring me. I asked her if that was okay (seeing that she was happy with her gifts but a little disappointed that mine didn't come) and she said she was happy. She told me he'd bring it for me next year. A little while later she found a hidden gift. It was for me! Inside was this note with her picture and a baseball mit. You see, she had left my mitt out in the summer and it got rained on and it molded so gross. She loves baseball and she loves that I love to play catch with her. So she asked Santa to bring me one
