Christmas Eve-part 1


We started off our evening at Otter Creek for our Christmas Eve service. Several of the kids from the musical (earlier in the month) sang "Happy Birthday Jesus". It is a very sweet song, but especially sweet coming from these two girls

Mrs. Janet read a book to the kids on stage

and Mr. Murray lead us in songs...

along with the Praise team

After the service, we headed to Tex and KayKay's for a yummy dinner. All the favorites were made and we ate a little more than we should, but it was Christmas, right?!?!


We all love loving on each other:)


This is what happens when you try to get a sweet sibling picture

looks real happy doesn't she?!?

Travis had a seat at the table too...we missed him so much

These two always have fun when they're together


We didn't mean to dress alike

Mim gets the "Best Aunt" Oscar (with a little $$ tucked in the bottom) for watching the kiddos while we were gone on our trip

Baylor got her daddy this really sweet sign

Dad got another one of his T-shirts that only he can wear...it says "If you can't stand behind our troops feel free to get in front of them"

Kim bought me a Disney World tote bag when she was there in November

I guess Jeff didn't want to be in the picture, but Christian sure looks cute:)

Christian made us an ornament with his finger prints at school

Mom and I each received a wooden frame w/ Travis' name and other army stuff etched on it. It has a pic of the two of them right before he was deployed.

Christmas Eve-part 2 and Christmas morning

Our tree was decorated and our stockings waited...

We put out our cookies, milk and carrots...


and while we were sleeping, Santa came!!!

He left this for the whole family:)



Baylor woke up first and we had a little snuggle time waiting for brother

waiting to go see what Santa left...

She's probably the only 3 year old girl that would be excited for dress up clothes AND her own Buzz Lightyear to play with

Baylor really wanted Pocahontas and Mulan dress up

Santa brought Optimus!!!!
What is it?


KayKay, Tex and Mim came over for a yummy breakfast. Blueberry scones (made from scratch) and sausage/egg casserole. My husband spoils us

Even daddy had a few things in his stocking:)

Princess Mulan, I mean Baylor, got her own hand held V-smile w/ lots of games


Is this not the cutest little princess?

After playing with some of our new toys we headed to the movies...Alvin and the Chipmunks. We all enjoyed it, but it was especially fun to see Baylor bopping up and down in her seat.

Nana, Papa and Uncle Jeremy brought dinner and we enjoyed celebrating some time with them.

Uncle Jeremy helping with our new leggos

Giving Nana a big hug

Christian got Dragonoid!!! and Baylor is loving all her My Little Pony stuff

Papa needed a little help opening his present

Santa, smores and more


Visiting Santa in "downtown" Nolensville
Mim and KayKay came over to help the kids put up the trees in their rooms


Don't you LOVE Baylor's pink tree?!?!?

sweet little hands


We had to help Daddy w/ the big tree too

Later that night we had a dance party to Baylor's new favorite song "Party in the USA" (Mim is such a bad influence! J/K),


played outside in the leaves and

made smores!!!

Cute momma w/ her 2 girls

Christian and I LOVE smores
