The girls had a fantastic Christmas and now we are working to put things away (toys, laundry, Christmas decorations, etc.). I haven't run in WAY too long and I'm starting to feel the effects, so I'm starting that back up again soon too! I don't know what it is about post-Christmas, but it always makes me want to purge, organize, clean, and decorate. You can bet there will be plenty of that going on here as well. Meanwhile we're enjoying the rain (and we've had plenty!!) and just staying inside.
I've been trying to jot down a few of the funny things the girls have said so I can revive the Friday Funnies, (look for a new year's edition soon)!
I can tell you all we've been up to, but I know you'd much rather see it!
Reagan's classroom Christmas party:
Mom's birthday a few days before Christmas (and a delicious chocolate cake made by my sis-in-law):
Walking "Christmas Card Lane" (and a rare family pic):
Delivering cookies to daddy's office:
Reagan and my nephew Dylan (best buddies). He was teaching her all about something called a "Nintendo DS" :)
Christmas Eve at my mom and dad's house:
Christmas morning at our house. The girls all got a giant dollhouse to share. Love Reagan's face (and the fact that she's throwing paper in her baby sister's face). :)
Skylar with her new Princess bike (complete with a baby seat on back)!
Skylar and Bailey wearing the slings that Reagan made for them!
Mom opening the quilt I made. She's going to hate this picture, but I just love it!
The girls playing with their new dollhouse:
Matching Christmas jammies!
Our tree on Christmas night. We have some crazy LED lights!
We hope your Christmas was blessed and your home is filled with warm memories! We are gearing up for a busy January (with every week/weekend already booked!), my return to teaching, and squeezing in some playtime too! :)
Happy New Year!!
You have such a beautiful family! I can tell that much joy and love fills your home. Momma Jo looks fantastic. Can't wait to see you guys in February! Happy New Year sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to look through and see your Christmas celebrations and traditions! The pics that captured the emotion were my favorites and I think I spied my favorite red velour smocked Gymboree top on Skylar too! :) I love that Reagan wanted a globe (I loved ours growing up) and was wondering if that was the Costco dollhouse?
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love the pictures! Glad you guys had a wonderful Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy Brian's doing so well, and that all is good with you all. Loved the pics, especially the one with the girls opening the doll house!
