Christmas Eve

January 5, 2017

Like last year, Christmas Eve was unseasonably warm. Not very festive but it did make dressing for church easier not having to worry about coats!

We went to the 12:00 family service. The boys did great…Samantha did ok.  I took her out to the parlor for much of the service but she enjoyed being there and I enjoyed getting to dress her up and show her off!  🙂 She was looking pretty cute in my old dress!

And the boys had on their holiday red and white, of course! (and I cannot get enough of Spencer’s sweet face in this picture!! 😍)

We got a family pic at church but the sun caused some squinting and funny faces so this is the best we got!

We didn’t do much that night but Maxwell did write a goodbye note to Gingerbread Elf!

Cookie party

January 4, 2017

Alright – the Christmas recapping begins! On the Friday before Christmas Eve, I let the boys invite some friends over for a little cookie decorating party! Maxwell invited Lila, Gabriel, and Butler and Spencer invited Sebastian over. This was Spencer’s first time inviting his own friend over and he was pretty excited!

I had all the cookies ready to go for when they all arrived…

And they didn’t waste anytime getting that icing and those sprinkles on the cookies!

and had little lunch before heading home. (please note that Spencer had no problem hanging with all the big kids! Sebastian played inside with me for a while and then left a little early.)

Back at it

January 3, 2017

Today is the day. Back to work. Back to school. Back to normal. The holidays were great, as always. I so love the Christmas season and am always a little bummed when it’s all over. I think the kids feel the same way and it appears I’m not the only one with a holiday hangover around here…

But, we’ll get back into our routine in no time! Lots to catch up on this week on the blog so stay tuned….
