Christmas 2014

I love Christmas! And this year, we really did keep it simpler, and it was SO nice. Less gifts, more time together, fewer events and less stress. Christmas is, after all, about Jesus, not us. Here's a glimpse of our season in pictures. 

Christmas PJs!

Singing at The Cherub School Christmas program. 

Repurposing the flower girl dress from the fall with a red Christmas ribbon. She later sang with the 3-5 year olds at church. Her brother also participated  on his 3rd birthday (12/21) though he proceeded to rub his eyes to avoid looking at anyone during both services. Oh well! She, however, sang great!

Meeting our sweet Goddaughter Sadie Rae Senters, born on December 23rd! What a journey her parents have been on with their family, and we are so excited for them as they welcome their very healthy sweet little girl!

Christmas with the Burrell's, which included a dance party to fun Christmas songs. Kids can make you do the silliest things!

The kids love their Mimi!

Christmas Eve at Nonnie and Granddad's. We started off with one of our favorite things - Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at church. 

Those are some cute kids!

Sporting their new Frozen tee shirts!

And it's a Bitty Baby! Her current name is TigerLily. (thank you Peter Pan)

Christmas Day - the cows still have to be fed, so the kids joined Daddy on the tractor. What a sweet day celebrating our Savior. With the warm weather, a few visits to neighbors' houses and spaghetti dinner with the Senters who just arrived home from the hospital with Sadie, we felt very blessed. 

Christmas books with Grandma during our visit to Northern Virginia. 

Snuggle time with Grandma!

Best wrapped present of Christmas! Good job Uncle Kam!

TigerLily and Mary-Michael in matching outfits. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Cousin fun with cute little Eddie. 

Eddie and Uncle Geoff.

A visit from my dear friend, Faith. Mary-Michael convinced both of us to dress up, so we had to resort to some old bridesmaid dresses. Recognize this, Mrs. Christian Simmers!!?
