Christmas Pictures

I did a really bad job taking pictures this year so there aren't too many to share.  I just kept forgetting to get my camera out until it was too late.  Until I saw this moment I had to capture... Madeline and Emma on Christmas Eve at my Grandma's house.  These two really hit it off and they ended up cuddling on the couch watching Sponge Bob at the end of the night.  Emma's Daddy is a family friend from years ago and they were in town visiting from Seattle.  This may be the last time we see them because they are moving to Switzerland next month.

Fia is sure going to miss them!  Her and Slaten were having a ball of a time together.  Fia hardly ever belly laughs and he had her going.

Now, of course I remembered my camera on Christmas morning.  The big gifts Santa brought were a Dora house and a Dora couch.  Do you sense a theme here?

Fia also got a baby crib and baby bottles.

And a Dora t-shirt and matching jacket.  Madeline received a Snow White ensemble.  

Madeline's been talking about an umbrella forever, so she was super excited to get one for Christmas.  She wants to use it constantly.

Later that night, we went to Nana and Papaw's house.  Most of these pictures were taken by Andy's Aunt Lisa.  I'm glad someone else was on the ball since again I was slacking with my picture-taking.  How cute is she in that dress?!

We had a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends.  It was so nice to not feel rushed and be able to spend quality time with everyone.  This year was extra nice for us since we didn't have to pack everything up and travel.  With our young family, I feel new traditions starting and I can't wait to see what each new year brings.  I feel so very blessed.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my family and friends!!
