Christmas

We're finally getting settled after a super fun and super busy couple of days! We had a wonderful Christmas and are so blessed.



I think there were two huge miracles to celebrate this Christmas (other than the birth of Christ, which is kind of a given).


First, this is what happened on Christmas Eve:



A White Christmas. In Texas. AWESOME!

And the second miracle? We had to WAKE our kids up at 7 a.m. on Christmas morning because WE couldn't stand the waiting any longer. I vividly remember waking up at 3 a.m. as a kid and literally lying there for two hours watching the clock until I could get my parents up. What is wrong with my kids?!

Here's the living room on Christmas morning.
But it was well worth the wait to see their reaction!

Allie asked for a purple bike that came with a backpack AND a water bottle. And Santa delivered!
Too bad Lauryn didn't like her gift.

The girls picked out a plastic ball for Hope and she rolled it around the room while we opened presents!




Our house on Christmas Morning!

Snow angels!



We hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas! We're looking forward to lots of fun in the New Year!

How fun. Those snow pictures are fantastic. They look so cute in the first one of them together. Glad they got everything they wanted. Are you ready to give me Hope yet?

I love all the pictures!!! And I am so jealous of the snow! We got a few flurries on christmas eve, but it only lasted about 45 minutes.

I love that Hope's ball has dogs on it. I bet she was excited too.

A white christmas??? Amazing for TX. That is a once in a lifetime, and the pictures are priceless.
Do your kids ever wear ugly clothes? Even their PJs were precious! Love it.
