Christmas 2014

This Christmas was the BEST Christmas of my adult life.  Haisley was just old enough to "get" it, and Benton had a blast!  We are blessed beyond measure to be able to spend time with the ones that we love.  We had such a laid back day, it was perfect!  We have been praying that the babies would understand that we celebrate Christmas because of Jesus' birth.  I think Haisley understood, at least somewhat!  So....our Christmas week, in pictures...

I've always felt sorry for December birthday babies.  I mean, how could they possibly have a great birthday so close to Christmas.  We went to a friend's birthday party last week and it was precious!!  It was gingerbread man themed and couldn't have been cuter!  Of course, my kids LOVED getting to eat all of that candy!

 

On Christmas Eve, Mark had to go to work in the morning, so the babies and I played at Aunt Amanda's house.  When Mark got home we headed to the farm to spend time with Nana and Granddaddy.  

 Cece and Benton Boy hanging out.

 The only family Christmas picture we got, and it is not centered, H is picking her nose and Benton is looking elsewhere!  Oh well!

  

Benton's favorite toy of the day.  Actually, the box that the toy came in!

 I got some Cecelia love!

 

When we left the farm, we came home and made some cookies for Santa.  

 Santa LOVED the cookies!!

 FINALLY!!!  Santa CAME!!!  

 Benton LOVED the Barbie Dune Buggy that Pop and JJ gave he and Haisley.  Haisley, on the other hand, did not.  Hopefully she'll warm up to it and start liking it! 

 She enjoyed it from afar.

We had a fabulous Christmas.  Looking back through these pictures, I've realized a few things. 
1.  Our babies are so loved and got so many great toys.
2 .  Mark is clearly the picture taker in the family and we need to get more pictures of the family/him with the babies.
3.  I should try to spruce myself up a bit before Christmas morning pictures.

Merry CHRISTmas!
