December?
What happened to it?
We were so busy, it feels like a blur now.
Thank goodness there's pictures!
So we can remember Adelaide in her super cute, 2nd grade concert.
And remember just how excited we were waiting for our cousins to come. We squeezed in hair treatments for all. No dry, itchy scalp for the holidays!
Jordan's family came from Houston, TX. Christmas Eve we continued the tradition of "Minute to Win It" games with them. (Hey, I have no idea what you mean with that innuendo! I'm apalled!)
Our family was schooled by Team Houston.
So I stepped in to show us how it's done...
Then Kendra won.
This is my cute niece, the clear winner of this game:
Then came the tradition of trying to attempt a peaceful nativity scene with a bunch of kids worked up into a sugared frenzy.
(Jordan was a good sport.)
Ahhh, Christmas morning.
The kids were happy.
Especially Owen with this ball-pop toy. He was interested in nothing more.
But then nobody was happier than Ethan, the beneficiary of Santa's clear lapse in sanity, evidenced by the gift of a hamster. Ethan named him Jack.
We decorated cookies.
(I bet you're thinking, "Why don't these people have blinds yet?")
It's laziness.
Amy and Rich came from Virginia.
We played on a gigantic Orange tree. The "unofficial" oldest and largest in the US. It is great for climbing.
And for looking cute and adorable with your cousin.
We decorated "gingerbread" houses.
And played lots of games.
In spite of ear infections, colds and chaos we had a wonderful Christmas. We hope you and your family did too!
Here's to an even better 2014!
