A Whole Lot of Christmas

Better late than never. Our Christmas holiday was filled with lots of fun and family. The only way to have it. :) So, here's a quick recap of what the adventure held.

Brynnley reached 5 months! She's growing so fast its hard to believe. She continues to be a happy baby, sleeps through the night, and LOVES to chew on everything, especially your fingers.
I had fun decorating this year and even found time to put together a few new things. This setup was my favorite this year. I love my Precious Moments nativity and with the words believe it just all came together. I actually ordered an angel holding a star that goes over the baby jesus, but didn't have it when I took this picture. Obviously.
Two things I fell in love with: The fun glittery decorations and ornaments from none other than Walmart! And Wordle...the coolest word making program.


We were in Meridian with my family this year. I love being with all my family! Having all the girls together equals a good time! However, there is one girl that likes to spoil the party at times. We had a few incidents that looked something like this.


Thank you Ryan for catching the play-by-play.
Christmas morning was so much fun! Maddi was more than excited about the things Santa brought her. The very first thing she noticed was her baby goat. And she didn't even mind that it wasn't real. Phew. She got her white dog as well. Also not real. :)
Brynnley enjoyed the wrapping paper.




The girls!
All of us, minus the kiddos, went snowshoeing. I always love seeing all the pretty trees covered in snow and just being outdoors. I certainly could use a little more exercise in my life- a new years resolution perhaps?
We really did have fun, despite what this picture says...

The best looking pair of the bunch!

I think snowshoeing was my favorite part. I'm most proud of the fact that we never went out to eat once. I planned and cooked well for a crowd. Although we could have used a cow in the backyard. Holy Cow did we go through the milk about 3 gallons every other day. See you next week!
