Christmas

Becca, Mom, Dad, and I were able to fly back to NC in time for Christmas.  Unfortunately, my mom got food poisoning the day she flew home and so she was unable to join us for our festivities on the 23rd and 24th.  But the rest of us had fun playing games all day, eating Christmas treats, and sharing hilarious stories.

Opening their Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve.

This is what you get at our house when you ask your kids to pose.  This is normal, right?

Some of my favorite photos are of Colby photobombing.

"Ring around the rosies, catch a tiger's toesies..."

Christmas morning came and all the kiddos were so thrilled to see that they each got what they asked Santa for, even though he didn't bring tons.

Lily and Skyler got new bikes.

Ella got her Cinderella wand.

Lily was thrilled to get an owl beanie boo.

The girls both got mermaid tail blankets.

And when Colby woke up he got to see all of his fun surprises.

Ella took about 100 selfies with her new tablet.

After 8 AM church, we came home to breakfast casserole and presents!

"Ella pose with your new necklace."

"Like this, Mom?"

Then we played Pie Face as a family after Christmas dinner.

She ironically was not wearing the goggles she got from Santa when she got hit.

But Skyler clued in and decided to do that.  Not that it helped....

We had a wonderful Christmas as a family (even though some of us were sick), and were grateful to be able to spend it together.  We are thankful for our Savior and that we get a whole season dedicated to remembering Him.
