Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas day with our family. It was definitely a whirlwind of a day. The kids had a blast opening all their gifts and getting right down to business with playing with their toys.






Look, Andy wrote a book.

Love his Santa tush.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with my family. The kids loved being with their cousins and making fun memories.

I think Will is too big for Emma's lap.

At church.

Love the candlelight service.


We hosted a Christmas Eve party at our house. The kids loved decorating cookies.



Elle loved eating the icing.


The kids got to open a Night Before Christmas goody box filled with new pjs, a Christmas movie, and treats.

All cuddled up watching their new movie.

A late night treat of hot coco and marshmallows. 


It was a fun celebration!! Love being with these kiddos.

Happy 6th Birthday Emma!!

Look who turned 6!!


Hard to believe my little girl is 6 years old! I am constantly telling her that we need to slow down time because I want to keep her little. She likes to tell me that she needs to grow up and that when she is 12 or 13 she gets a phone. Let's just savor all the moments while we can.

The morning of her birthday.

Her class Christmas party was the same day.


She was very excited for her gift.


Her pizza dinner.

Happy Birthday beautiful girl!!

Emma at 6:

-Loves going to school and being with all the kids. Kinder has been great for her and is definitely helping her with her social goals.
-Wants to constantly be on the go. She always wants to know what we have planned and gets very excited when we meet up with other friends.

Emma's 6th Birthday Party

Hard to believe Emma is 6! We had her party a few weekends ago with many of her friends. So grateful for all that came to celebrate with us. 







Her party guests.

I think we are outgrowing the tea cups.

Emma's School Performance

Emma had her performance at school the same time as Abby's, so Andy went to Emma's and captured some video.













Abby's Christmas Pageant

Abby's preschool held their annual Christmas pageant. Abby was so excited to perform the songs she had been learning in music class.


She was also excited that Gammie got to come watch her.
