Christmas Warm up

We truly did have a fabulous healthy Christmas.  It started with the Saturday before when we celebrated with my family.

 We needed to take a sister picture, as we were all wearing matching colors (although it was harder to tell in this picture).

The newest addition to the family (Abby).

I just missed a picture of my mom and dad, who were working hard in the kitchen.

Sweet little cousin pictures, which are always a challenge.

Singing happy birthday to Jesus with cupcakes in the shape of a "J" (he is the reason for the celebration after all).

Presents time for the kiddos!

Zoe had the best reactions of excitement!  She loved getting a disco ball!

My sweet Aunt Laurie sent princess aprons to all the girls, which they all adored!

Ezra didn't get left out though...

He LOVED his gift as well!

Liddy gave Ezra a little car set she picked out, which was right up his alley!

Shiloh wanted to give Aunt Lauren a present.  Knowing that she is an artist, Shiloh one of her favorite pieces of her own artwork!

Then the kids were sent to watch a Christmas movie, so that the adults could open their own gifts with a little less excitement.  We switch names, and Danielle seemed happy with her Loveland Coffee swag!

In addition to some other items, we made some artwork for my dad as well.

Poor Beach, this time a year he is burning the candle on both ends.  So he easily crashes anywhere (but did make it though opening gifts, though).

For Christmas Eve our church had a afternoon service that included having the kids in the service.  It was a packed house and we made it on the last row.  The church provided things for the kids to do but Ezra had a hard time being still and quiet (so it was pretty distracting to me).

Beach mentioned that he wanted Bacon in addition to our Christmas morning breakfast, so we made a quick stop at Bi-Lo on the way home.  My shopping companion was fascinated with the little carts!

A family selfie before the littles headed to bed and we finished prepping for the morning.  Love this little family of mine!
