December (pictures caught up!)

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!

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!
