Christmas Morning!

Is it seriously 2014 already? Where has the past week gone!? Kevin had 9 days off for the holidays, and we had so much fun with family, staying at home playing with so many new things, doing countless crafty things, going to the movie Frozen with family, too many doctor appointments, and taking care of little Avrey who spent Sunday in the emergency room. First lets back track to Christmas morning!

Isabelle was sooooooo excited to run down stairs Christmas morning and see what Santa left her and Avrey! She was so happy to see Santa left her a note and ate his cookies and that the reindeer had ate their food she left them outside! Avrey slept for about an hour later then Isabelle and then was happy to join in on the fun and have Isabelle open her gifts for her! We were so blessed to have Avrey have her first Christmas, our two little girls are everything to us.

I took so many pictures on Christmas morning...here are just a few. :)

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus!!!

Christmas Eve!!!

Happy Christmas Eve!!! We hope everyone had a great day and was able to reflect on the reason we celebrate Christmas.

I am so glad our church has an earlier option for Christmas Eve service! They have one at 4, 6, and 10 so we always go to the 4:00 one, which is perfect with kids!! Christmas Eve day just isn't complete without Christmas Eve service!

Little Avrey looked so adorable in her Christmas dress all ready for church!

Even the 4:00 service was packed!!! We had to sit in the 'overflow' section, which actually worked out perfectly since Avrey could sit and play next to us and move around! :)

Isabelle was soooo excited and proud to hold her own candle this year! She was so sweet and said that we light the candle for Jesus' birthday! Love her heart!

Loves to stand all day long!

She was also so excited when the final song was "Go Tell It On The Mountain!" She did all her actions from her preschool program!

My sweet little Avrey Ann

When we got home Isabelle put out her reindeer food!

She also put out cookies we baked, little doughnuts for the elves, and chocolate milk (her choice)

Avrey got in the picture and immediately knocked over the chocolate milk :)

Since both Avrey and Isabelle are sound asleep, I think Santa will be busy soon at our house! We wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Frosty the Snowman

With the weather being almost 50 degrees this afternoon, Isabelle was very excited to go outside and play, so her and Kevin went outside and decided to build a snowman! Most of the snow was quickly melting but they did manage to make Frosty with some of the remaining snow in the backyard!

Isabelle got our her rock bucket from the summer (she collects tons of rocks!) and decorated frosty with them. :) He is missing some arms and a mouth, but this is just how she liked him. :)

Avrey and I stayed nice and warm inside. :) Which is probably a good thing, considering Avrey now has a bad case of the stomach bug. I think we will be making a call to the doctor tomorrow and I certainly hope this is not as long lasting as Isabelle's was! Prayers to get well soon little Avrey, we love you!!

Christmas Time at Preschool!

Today was Isabelle's Christmas Program at preschool. She was so excited before school started for us to come and watch her!

How cute is she??? We were so incredibly proud of her! She sang the songs and did the little actions to most of the songs which is a first for her. She was so happy and proud of herself. She really loved the song 'Go Tell It On The Mountain'. It was so incredibly cute to watch.
