We had a wonderful week preparing for Christmas. It is soooo nice to be able to be home for two weeks with my little ones.
We have decided to keep Miss Clara.
She has been a perfect fit into our family. A wonderful Christmas present.
The kids helped make the tags for our family presents.
I made homemade cinnamon rolls again.
A new tradition.
On Christmas Eve evening we headed to my parents for our family Christmas.
The craziness of opening is about to begin.
So fun to watch their excitement.
My Dad bought us all matching hats. Hilarious and random. That's my Dad. Kids wore Santa hats. The girls got antlers and the boys were pirates.
My brother, the pirate.
Arrrrr!
My Dad...a.k.a. Papa.
Grandy got Seri a new vanity for her room.
She got to see a picture of it before it came to our house. She is going to LOVE it.
Miss Riley with her funny new nutcracker.
(Ugh. She is getting so big.)
All in all it was a marvelous LATE night together. We headed home, exhausted but excited for Santa to come.
Amazingly, we didn't all get up until 8:30. We had a slumber party in my room which helped us all sleep in.
Santa brought Jett a giraffe.
And Seri a ballet outfit.
Presents were opened.
The kids even made me a present. Love them.
The rest of the day we relaxed and played with all the kid's new things.
Santa also brought us new art supplies and organization. Love that Santa.
Jett has been BEGGING for a fish tank.
Holy Christmas mess!
The one day a year that this is ok.
Seri and her doll have matching clothes and pajamas. She has been sooo funny with her.
They are always together.
She wanted me to take these pictures of them. Silly.
It was a Very Merry Christmas in our home.
We are so blessed.
