The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I have a Christmas hangover. I don't want to take my decorations down, and I want everyone to stay. Only because we had such a blessed holiday and a ton of fun. 

Santa was good to us! It lightly snowed all Christmas morning, it was beautiful.

Happy kids in their Christmas PJs.

 Parker's first Christmas

 Making Christmas dinner

Great end to a great week with the family.

Before

After

 (Cate's face is killing me!!!)

 It's beautiful

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

When weird weather gives you ice chunks, make an ice fort!

Burrrrrrr!

It has been cold and beautiful here. During the day the snow sparkles in the sun like diamonds.

 When I say cold I mean really cold. One morning was -5.

What we've been up to-

My oldest baby got braces!

Ben had a sleepover with his best-est buddy Lucas.

Nothing sweeter than this face, sleepy and cozy.

I got a hair chop. #notmomhair

 

We love the snow!

It snowed off and on all weekend. Love it! So peaceful and pretty and bright. It kept the kids entertained all weekend too. It's begining to feel a lot like Christmas......

Ben's first lost tooth

 He's so darn cute with a missing tooth, I can hardly stand it. #hillbillychristmas

We didn't have any one dollar bills to put under his pillow so we borrowed one from him to re-gift from the tooth fairy. #didntevennotice #oblivious
