Christmas Fun!

Happy Mid-January! Christmas this year was so much fun! We had our little family's Christmas Eve and Christmas morning a bit early. We celebrated ours on Monday night and had "Santa" Tuesday morning before hitting the road. We drove all day Tuesday.....the kids did great....and went straight to my brother's house (Matt and Jess' home) to have Christmas with my dad. We had so much fun and stayed up much too late! : ) Then we had fun spending time in Magee with my mom and Joe..... and then on to Clem to have Christmas with the Parish's! Liza was so much fun at every Christmas celebration.....and Will was a smiling little angel as always! We have been on overload with the toys..... And, we caught a glimpse of what will begin to be many new traditions. We loved making our happy birthday, Jesus cake......if you asked Liza whose birthday it was, she would say, "Jesus!" She had a little people nativity that she played with and loved the whole month. My mom gave her a little people doll house.....she now calls the baby that is in the doll house Baby Jesus....hahah. I can't wait to see how much her head.....and most importantly heart, soaks in next year!

There are lots of pictures.....I never can decide which ones to post......but when I thought about the fact that I might never get them into a photo album and that one day this might be the only thing my kids have to look at.....I decided to put them all! Enjoy!

"Christmas morning" in Macon (don't tell the kids it was really 3 days before Christmas!)
