Merry Christmas! (2014)

We had such a great time celebrating our traditions and remembering just how important our family is. Our family is close, we will do anything for one another and we have such a damn good time together. Pictures illustrate what I would have attempted a full story:

Connor has been just too fast for us. She's on the move and we have yet to get a singular picture with her! Here's a Whit and Connor with their favorite Grammy.

I am so thankful I captured this picture. This will be framed. 

My mom loves Grammy so much. There is so much history with them, so many stories.

Justin and Dad being silly, as usual!

This is how I remember egg nog growing up. Plane and simple, probably since I was about eight. I was able to "take a sip". I just enlightened Justin. Take note :) 

Christmas Eve 2014

We started with Mass. A great service. I love family tradition.

Connor was a sheep this year. She did great! Very brave.

Putting out cookies for Santa, writing a letter and not forgetting about the hard working reindeer! 

Biff sent the kids Christmas pjs!

Sick Little Girl and Boy

Cuddling with my little girl.  Have to get her better so she can go to her Christmas party at school!

Whit is napping, he's been up since 4:10 am :(

Santa Comes to Town

We love our community. They offer so much for our kids and either free or very little cost.

We got to see Santa!

We made crafts and played outside:

And  somebody got to meet Anna and Elsa!

I love this time of year. We spend a lot of time with family and friends celebrating what we are thankful for and enjoying each other. Laughter is a huge part of this time of year too and it makes my heart smile. Two whole weeks off with my awesome children and amazing family, recipe for happiness.
