A Christmas Visit

My mom and dad and sisters and nephew (and the newest niece/nephew, inside it's mommy's tummy!) all came to visit a few days before Christmas. It was a quick trip and a little crazy, but we all had fun-- especially the girlies! We ate yummy food, shopped for toys and clothes and more toys, decorated a Christmas tree, went swimming, saw 'The Princess and the Frog' and just generally played hard. Of course I didn't take any pictures (you would think I would be getting better at that!), but thankfully my family took a couple.

Thanks, Fam for the fun time and many gifts! We love you!

Ho, ho, ho!

Christmas Tree Decorating

(If any of you are looking for the Thanksgiving post-- there isn't one. Nothing to tell. Hubby was sick. I made my first turkey. NO ONE ate it. The end.)

For FHE tonight, the we decorated the Christmas tree and talked about the meaning of all things Christmas-y.

Kendi LOVES the tree, but didn't quite get the hang of putting things ON the tree. She kept taking them off and bringing them back to me, almost as fast the big girls were putting them on. Thankfully she can't reach the top of the tree. ;0) (And yes, I do realize that my daughter's gut is hanging out of her clothing. . . I can't keep her pants up to save myself! By evening I don't even try anymore. . .)

Merry Christmas!
