Christmas Review

We've enjoyed having Autumn off from school  
she adds a sense of fanciness to our family. 


Prior to our walk,
Autumn: "I want to look beautiful in case a boy sees me 
and wants to dance with me."


Brooklyn does a great job at making me laugh with her funny poses, I'm not sure if she means to, but it's funny nonetheless.


And please take note of Daniel's hair, he trimmed it himself 
(don't worry I finally gave him a hair cut yesterday 
so it doesn't look so obvious).

By the time Christmas Eve came our tree looked like this.

90% of our ornaments had been taken off or knocked off of the tree by little elves.  Instead of rehanging them over and over again they would collect under the tree and then we proceeded to bag them up. It worked for us.

Autumn came home from school with this book and it is one of my favorites!  I recommend it to all you mothers out there. You'll appreciate it. ;)

For Christmas Eve dinner we invited a couple from our church that Mike serves with and had a nice time with them.  They brought the kids presents, homemade chocolate fudge (so yummy)for Mike and I, and these awesome flowers that my dad would truly appreciate (he loves vibrant colors).

Autumn's project.

Since we didn't get anything to hang up our stockings with, Autumn came to the rescue with glittery pipe cleaners 

and my hair clips. She did an excellent job!

My favorite pictures from Christmas Day.

And we also enjoyed watching these videos as well.  It really brought in the Christmas Spirit (or the Spirit of Christ)

into our home.
