Christmas Night

Christmas night was spent with the Stacy's; Grammy, Papa, Tia (Aunt Erin), Jonathon, and cousin Derek. We hoped the kids held up with all the attention and gifts doing all three celebrations in 1 day but they managed and then by 10:00 that night Kendall was hit was the flu.

Christmas Afternoon

We spent Christmas afternoon with my family. It was fun for our kids to have to share Christmas with a cousin for the 1st time.

Christmas morning

Just the four of us had a low key morning opening gifts. Zak got into it more than I thought he would. I remember wanting Kendall to go put on some pajamas so all of our pictures didn't turn out with her in her underwear but Shane told her she could wear whatever she wanted to :) It was Kendall's last morning opening the advent calendar (next year she will have to share with Zak) and the night before we also said good bye to "Snow Fairy" (Elf on a Shelf) until next December.

Getting ready for Christmas

I felt like I had a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit this year. I wasn't in a hurry to get a tree and wasn't very motivated to get my shopping done. I think I just felt so busy between Shane's bball season and work that I was overloaded. It is so much fun as as the kids get older to have traditions. We went to the tree farm and got our tree as well as made Christmas cookies. By the time I was off work for Christmas break I was into the festivities and getting excited for the kids for Christmas to come.

December snow

Our last day of school before Christmas break was cancelled because of snow. We had fun out in the snow but didn't quite have the right clothes for Zak. We got the skis out for Kendall to try so Shane pulled her around the yard.

Kendall's Pre-school Christmas Program

This was so dang cute. I wasn't quite prepared for how funny and cute it was going to be all at the same time. Kendall is loving pre-school at Luarel Baptist Church.
