Oh, Bring Us A Figgy Pudding!

We went to my mom's for Christmas Brunch. It was delicious! She has it every year, and does a wonderful job. (Thanks, mom!)My Sister Amy, and my brother-in-law Josh. Looking sharp!

Uncle Tim, staying near the food. :)
My Aunt Shel and Uncle Wes were there as well. We went to their house for Christmas dinner later in the day. I was too busy eating to take pictures there....

Grandma Cindy & GrandBob and Grandma Ade & Grandpa Leo were all there as well, though somehow they escaped getting their pictures taken.
We had a great time visiting, opening presents and eating.
Christmas Brunch with my family is definitely one of my favorite Christmas traditions.

Hannah spent Christmas afternoon with her Dad's family.
We took these pictures right before he picked her up.
Silly girls :)

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Christmas Morning!
Hannah had so much in her stocking, it was tough getting the first few things out. She must have been very good this year. :)

We had a wonderful Christmas!
We pray yours was as blessed as ours.
God bless us, every one!

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

On Christmas Eve, after church, we went to my parents house to open presents and visit with them for the evening.
Hannah and my mom playing with the polar bears and penguins.

When we got home, Hannah left out cookies & chocolate milk (she says Santa likes chocolate milk better then plain.) Then we hung our stockings and read "The Night before Christmas". We were all so excited for Christmas this year. It's the first time Hannah really knew what was going on. So fun!

"The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads...."

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Hannah was in our Church Nativity play on Christmas Eve. She played a shepherd. She liked being up in front of every one and enjoyed playing with the shepherds crook. She's holding her little black sheep :)

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

These were our "outtakes" :)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Hannah and her friend Aubrey had their first slumber party over the weekend.
They had so much fun!
Here they are dressed up like princesses. They liked twirling in the kitchen. There's a picture where they're showing off their Christmas tattoos and matching necklaces, too :)

Aubrey came to church with us as well, she and Hannah wore Hannah's Christmas dresses.

Here they are before bed having popcorn, watching a movie, and snuggling on the couch. <3

Here Comes Santa Claus

Hannah's Christmas Party...
The kids took turns trying to break the pinata.
When it broke open, there was plenty of candy for everyone.

Santa came to visit!

At the kids' gift exchange, Hannah got this really cute set of 4 dolls. She is so excited about them!

Away in a Manger

Hannah's School acted out the Christmas Story during their Christmas Party last week. Hannah portrayed Mary. She did a wonderful job.
