We picked out our Christmas tree at our favorite tree lot near our house. The girls had a ton of fun running around, and since it was so nice and warm out - we didn't have to wear coats!
Santa visited our home this year! He found time from his busy schedule to come and spend some times with the kids. Norah, Bella, and Ashton were awestruck and talked about it for days!
Norah and Isabella are in full belief mode and were so excited to see that Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk they left out! They were so excited, that it was a few minutes before they even realized there were presents under the tree! :)
William's favorite part of the presents was of course, the wrapping paper! He even managed to get some in his mouth when we celebrated with my family...thankfully, it was only a small bit and we caught it just in time.
This year, we celebrated just the 5 of us on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. It was really nice to be together and to relax with each other. On Christmas day, we went to Brian's parent's house and spent the night. Something Brian and I have learned is that it's way to hard (on all of us!) to leave later in the day and have a peaceful evening; so we enjoyed family time with everyone. It was a lot of fun and the girls loved having a sleepover!
A few days after Christmas, we celebrated with my family and my parents surprised us by coming in! It was great to spend some time together and the kids loved every minute of it! The girls love spending time with their cousins and had a great time playing a lot over the holidays.
We have so much to be thankful for this year; we enjoy the time we have together and love it when we can all be home. God has blessed Brian and I so much not only with our children, but with all the wonderful family and friends we have. We are also blessed to be in so many people's prayers and feel so much comfort in knowing that William has so many people praying on his behalf.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
