Christmas Day!








Our three were pumped to check out what Santa had brought them! Everyone slept until 7:00 so I would call that a victory! 









Santa brought James a tank, boat, helicopter, and even added a dinosaur in the mix. He set it up so that the dinosaur was captured.  We also added some spiderman skates to his loot!


Henry loved his dry eraser easel. We got him a karaoke machine along with some magnetic shapes.











Not sure where all the pictures of Ansley went but Santa brought her a new bike and a mermaid! We gave her some skates and a "Frozen"barbie.








After playing and enjoying the new toys at home we were off to my parents house!





We even got to see the crazies for a bit!



After spending time with my family we headed up to the lake to be with the Crutchfield side. 


Ansley is sporting her new roller skates! She is rocking the skates! 









We had a wonderful day full of family and fun! The children were so excited to see everyone and to play with their new toys.

Happy New Year!!!








We proved that you are never to old to have a Theme Party!! I have to say our friends did a great job getting into the spirit of Tacky New Years! 









Two cousin Eddy's and one greasy pimp!


Then we had a pregnant 80's star! The crimped hair was rocking!


Kelley was lucky enough to have a conglomeration of past years presents put together!


And the famous Jello mold with Cat food. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was represented well!





The kids got to ring in the new year with some fireworks and we counted down the clock with London!









Oscar decided to jump in the picture! 



I think the men walked away with some of the best outfits! The women did awesome but who can beat Cousin Eddy! Especially when the moose cup, dicky, and greasy hair is involved!







Christmas Eve

Yes it is the new year and I am just posting Christmas Eve pictures. Christmas Eve was laid back yet busy. We had to finish last minute shopping because when you wait until three days before Christmas to see Santa wants change. Awesome!! We made cookies and decorated them for Santa and in between the cookie making had a wonderful Christmas Eve service. My parents joined us this year which made it extra special.





As you can see Henry was really into the cooking making!































This year at the children's service the Westminister (Ansley) choir and the Cherub (James' Choir) choir sang.












Henry was given a chance to wear sheep ears and head up front to be apart of the nativity scene. He did an excellent job. He even managed to ignore his brother who was trying to get him going:)






Since he just learned how to blow out birthday candles he was all about trying it out on the church candle.














After church we headed back to our house to put the finishing touches on the cookies and eat some dinner with my parents.






































Off to bed to dream of our Saviors Birthday and the arrival of Santa!!
