Holiday Fun

Boy, we had a great Christmas. The days leading to Christmas were filled with baking, eating, cleaning and fun. Caroline's 'school' is out until January so we are taking it easy.
We ate our first ice cream cone without any help.

We played in our car.

We stayed warm in our coat.

Christmas Eve was nice. Daddy read alot of books to Caroline...as usual.

Mommy and Caroline getting ready to go to church. (where Caroline threw a toy car up 3 church pews!)

Before we left home, Caroline opened her gift from us....a beautiful doll she named Kelly.

I have to say, it made me cry it was so sweet:)
She kissed her right away and fed her the bottle.

After church we opened gifts with Jonathan's family. Caroline loved their beautiful tree.

Joshua and Jacob were so cute!

Christmas Day began like this-Santa's spread.

The excitement was magical.

My family arrived on the 26th for a few days of fun. Unfortunately I didn't take enough pics!!

We had some grilled steaks before opening gifts. Yum!

Caroline had a blast. She didn't even know if I was there or not for the 3 days they were here because she was too busy playing hard with her cousins. Bellingrath Garden's light display was a fun thing to show off too. While we were arriving and getting out of the car Claire proclaimed that she was already impressed. Both Parker and Claire bought Caroline gifts with their own money. They are growing up fast!

And now back to normal.....

struggling to get our 2 year old to be still so that we can put on pajamas.


And tea parties.

Meanwhile the nesting urge is in FULL FORCE. Look out!!
