Here we go, December, minus Christmas.
We decorated for Christmas, had the pre-school Christmas program (where Gramps was Santa Claus again this year), wrote Jacey’s first-ever letter to Santa, and went to Bonham on my birthday for family Christmas where Santa Claus himself showed up with presents for all the kids.
-
- Jacey was proud of the present she wrapped for me. And- you can see our homemade countdown calendar behind us!
-
- The best present under the tree! We have a similar shot of Jacey from just last year!
-
- She had to lay down to get the ornaments on the bottom branches. I’m not really sure why.
-
- All done with the tree and showing off.
-
- Rylan, not too sure about this Santa Claus…
-
- Thinking maybe he’s okay…
-
- Hey, I know you! Okay, you’re awesome.
-
- When I went back to help her write her letter to Santa, this is how I found her. Ready!
-
- I wrote, she drew. Rylan “helped.”
-
- Doesn’t it look like he’s really writing?
-
- Bad hair day!
-
- Decorating cookies at Nunu’s house
-
- Family
-
- One little boy, one big mess of presents. (They all started out under the tree.)
-
- The kids, Kellen, and Uncle Bill went on a “quilt ride,” because it was just more comfy than a hay ride!
-
- Ryan Kate, Kellen’s cousin, who was my didn’t-make-it-down-the-aisle flower girl!
-
- Uncle Bill and the boys
-
- Cousin Jennifer holding a sleepy boy! He didn’t make it to the end of the quilt ride.
-
- Utter surprise that he was there
-
- Jacey got her present… but she was a little nervous. This is the best smile she could give us!
-
- Look at the complete shock on his face that Daddy is giving him to this man.
-
- Aaaand crying. He was wailing, but this is the best picture I got.
-
- Jacey loved the Pillow Pet she got from the aunts and uncles and cousins so much that she plopped right down on the concrete floor with it.
-
- And Rylan loved his piano, too!
