Donuts with Santa

This post is out of order-- should have been early December
but I forgot to post it. The kids enjoyed donuts with Santa that
our local charity league put on.  We met up with our best
buds to enjoy the event.  They had lots of stations to go to
including writing letters to santa, making reindeer food,
meeting santa, story time, and even a snowball fight.
The kids had a great time.

Gift opening at Gram and Paw Paws

Christmas evening we met at Paw Paw
and Gram's house for more gift opening
and some sloppy joes.  We were missing
a few family members but we still enjoyed
being together.  It was a great ending to the
day. 

Christmas Lights

I think our house looked so pretty this year with all the
lights on it.  We have collected lights and decorations for
10 years now and we still have more to go.  This year I
added some wooden pallet trees and I think they looked
great by the front door.  Can't wait to see what we add
next year.

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas day at home! Gram and
Paw Paw came to eat breakfast with us and then we
opened gifts.  The kids were excited about all of their
new toys.  They played ALL day long! We ate gumbo
for lunch and then mom and dad took a nap! It was
a great day.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve service at
church and then went to Great Granny's for
dinner.  The kids put our their reindeer food
they had made at school and I took a picture
of the moon b/c it was so pretty that night.

Christmas Baking

The kids and Daddy made their annual sugar
cookies and mommy made a Happy Birthday
Jesus cake for us to eat on Christmas day.

Christmas in Lafayette

We enjoyed the pre-Christmas festivities in Lafayette
with Pop Pop and JuJu. We were so excited to get to see
Cousin Jackson as well.

Movie Day!

Andrew and Aaron had been counting down
the days until the new Star Wars movie came out
and on Dec. 18th they finally got to see it! The girls
opted to see the new chipmunk movie at the
same time.

Avery's Pre-School Christmas Musical

I had been anxiously awaiting this performance
since Avery started prek! Aaron didn't do this
one when he went there because the music
teacher would alternate schools and he missed
doing it all together.  She was so pretty as a
doll for her performance and she took
her part very seriously! It was so cute! 

Church Sunday School Christmas play

This was Avery's second year to be is Ms. Cindy's
Sunday School Christmas play that she does
every year with the 3-5 yr olds.  Last year
she was an angel and she and Brooklyn
sang together.  This year she was a sheep
and Brooklyn was to be the cow but sadly
Brooklyn was sick the day of the performance.
We were so sad they did not get to sing together
this year.
