Christmas and New Year's!

I know, I know...it's taken me forever! Here are pics from Christmas and New Year's festivities...they are way out of order...but all holiday related!

Santa must have believed him because we have a playroom full of all new toys!

Lincoln's 1st picture with Santa! I made his overalls and sadly they do make him look like a sweet little girl...oh well, it's my first attempt at something homemade!
The girls strolling him around on Christmas day!
Trying on Maeve's bonnet

Full couch on Mimi's birthday!

With Santa at the library...we bumped into Ash and the girls after storytime, so had to get a group shot! I love both the girls' faces.


Enjoying the snow for the 1st time!



Dancing with shaky eggs at storytime
Wild kids on New Year's Eve!
Roaring and rolling on the bed!
Mimi and Poppy rented a room at the Hilton so we could come and go from Market Square adn have bathrooms! Playing on the bed was probably all the kids' favorite activity!
Trio had balloons, which were also a huge hit!
Ash was walking with Lincoln and Maeve wanted to "practice" walking too! When he walks from person to person, she likes to have a turn. She holds her arms out for balance and enjoys when we clap for her after...just like we do for Lincoln!
Bounce house!
The favorite activity of all 3 was me lifting them up to see the rest of the fam on the outside of the bounce house...quite a workout!






New Year's Hat! And please notice my husband's beard...it took him 2 weeks to grow that sucker!

Chris looking smart in Elena's hat

Hat and shaker...so crafty!
Lil man has started figuring out how to be funny...I will catch him laughing in the backseat and when I turn around, he is looking at himself in his mirror like this! I love that he's so goofy!

One of many snows this winter
His favorite Christmas present...a $2.75 Elmo balloon!
Nathan brought his tool box to open Christmas presents...we used them a lot...they make kids' toys so dang hard to get into!
Christmas night...

Happy Birthday Jesus!
Midas thoroughly enjoys Lincoln's new prizes
Christmas morning...where did Santa go?


Seriously considering eating Santa's cookies and milk on Christmas Eve
Reading Twas the Night Before Christmas
little goofus always sits with his ankles crossed...
Icing the cookies we made for Santa...we weren't sure there would be any left...we all like cookies in our house.
My mom's birthday...aka Christmas Eve...at China Pearl

We opened lots of presents a few days early since it takes a while with kiddos...that way they could open and play as we went and not feel rushed...really nice...these 2 are quite fond of eachother right now. Putting their hands in eachother's "moufs" as Maeve says.

All 3 kids loved playing with the Strawberry Shortcake bat and ball...very funny trying to show them how to play...lots of throwing the bat and ball together!
caught it!
A very cold start to the evening at the Cove Park...but really fun and pretty!
Cami & Erica

Tasting a lemon...not a fan...although he did keep eating it
Icing cookies at storytime
We visited Bell Buckle to celebrate Christmas with Nathan's parents the weekend before. Lincoln riding Yogi!
Looking at our Israel photobook with RaRa
Lots of basketball fun! His daddy is so proud!
Playing with the bows!

He slept through lots of the beautiful Opryland Hotel


Loving the jingle bells at Kindermusik! Movie time with Daddy!
Yay Snow!


Decorating the tree
Running in the snow...crazy guy
Sweet snuggle-bug!
The cats were big "helpers" decorating
So was Lincoln...
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
