Christmas Memories

Christmas morning is the best. We always have to wake up a couple of the girls and first we look for Elfy. Sofia had the honor to put the last magnet of the Advent calendar on and they ran to their stockings. What is so sweet is that the big girls are almost more excited to see what the little ones got. Rubi's JB shirt was for sure a hit! I love the excitement in their tired eyes and funny bed heads.
I know how lucky I am but Jeff does so much during this crazy time. He shops, he wraps and spoils mommy like crazy. I don't know how he does it each year but he's the best.
Christmas with the Rice family. Bigger each year. I don't know if its the presents, the kids or the food. Ava and Auntie Myra and baby Rice.
A couple of the best gifts of all.
Mind you this is at 9am Christmas morning.
I can't seem to get one great picture of these sillies.
The little things make the girls happy and crack us up.
Granny and Grandad ordered the cutest headbands and clips from my good friend Keli over at Do Pretty.
Sofia was thrilled about her 39 Clues book series and special black book. A must for all 4th and 5th graders if you want them to love to read. Booboo is just excited for anything.
What a day, a week, actually, what a month! We defiantly praise God for letting us celebrate in the birth of Jesus and getting a lot more than material gifts. Of course we're thankful for those but mostly for our eternal gift.
Our pretty little elf. I cherish this stage because it flys by just as this season did. Can't wait to see what the New Year will bring.
