Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
The kids weren’t the only ones with lots of fun parties this holiday!
Lunches with friends…
A little dinner party at our house…
Where I got to use my new fancy placemats and napkins!
All dressed up for Robert’s office party…
and even more dressed up for a fancy party at the club!
and here’s the cute kids one more time just because…
Merry merry!
Maxwell in the Christmas pageant at church…
Spencer in the Christmas parade with scouts…
and Samantha just looking cute!
Merry and cheerful!
Our favorite elf, Gingerbread, was back again this year to check on the kids and give (always good!) reports back to Santa each night. The boys are slightly amused by Gingerbread at this point but Samantha still LOVES running downstairs each morning to see where he is. I just love her Christmas joy!! Gingerbread got a little clever this year with some new treats but kept many of his favorite old spots as well.
Gingerbread brought ornaments like he always does – but this year’s were special because they were from NYC!
We’re always glad when Gingerbread comes to visit in December…
and we can’t wait to see him again next year!
Samantha had her cookie party on the Wednesday before Christmas it was as sweet as could be! After last year got cancelled because her BFF got covid, Samantha was extra excited about it this year!
Unfortunately, one of her friends got strep and couldn’t come at the last minute. Sad…but she still had two friends there to decorate cookies! Cuties!
They all had fun together! Love this tradition!
Maxwell also decorated some later that day. I didn’t get a picture but his were pretty impressive! Spencer never decorated any but ate plenty of the gingerbread men. Ha!
Other cookie parties here!
Happy 2023! We’re off and running and I just know it’s going to be a fantastic year! Lots of Christmas to recap…
Samantha and I went to the Nutcracker before Christmas and really enjoyed it! I don’t really remember ever seeing the Nutcracker but the Alabama Ballet put on a great production. Maybe we’ll make it an annual event!
Samantha got to pick out a nutcracker to add to our collection…I’m not surprised at all at the one she picked!
Love it!
