We had a really wonderful Christmas season, filled with many happy memories as a family!
We celebrated with Tad’s side of the family in early December.
All the grands!
Jude with the Grandanny.
Me with Jude, in front of Grammy’s tree
We went to a lights display at the botanical gardens which enthralled all the kids!
Seeing the kids’ faces on Christmas morning was just precious.
Tad always reads the Christmas story from Luke 2 first thing in the morning.
The girls sat and listened pretty patiently.
Everyone tore through their gifts, excited about what was inside.
Cordelia loved her new headbands from Vera and change purse from Jude.
Jude liked his hats from his sisters.
After Christmas, my family came down for three full days which was awesome!
Phillip read stories to Vera.
Cordelia has become more interested in books recently too.
We added some beautiful new ornaments to our tree this year.
The kids all loved the time they got to spend with MiMi and Pops!
The girls think Uncle Nich is lots of fun!
Phillip and Jude almost share a birthday… Jude’s is one day after his uncle’s!
“Uncle” Caeleb is part of the family too, since he has been Phillip’s roommate and friend for three years and spends many holidays with my family.
We just really had a great Christmas season with healthy children, great memories, and lots of celebrations of Christ’s incarnation!
We are very blessed!
As I scrolled through, I kept thinking, “Oh, this is my favorite picture,” then a little later, “Now THIS is really my favorite picture,” and so forth. 🙂 So many treasured memories captured here!! The one of Vera and Cordelia sitting together with their funny morning hair is so sweet, and of course I LOVE the ones with your parents. The family picture at the end is great. Oh, all so wonderful! 🙂
