Christmas 2011

Christmas Morning was so much fun this year!  With Christmas falling on a Sunday we got up and the girls were able to unwrap their gifts, then we got ready and headed to church, after church we were able to be a part of delivering meals to a few families!  This was such a neat experience once we found our way to where we were going (Jesse learned never to leave me in charge of getting directions :)!  After we delivered the meals we headed to Granny's house and then packed up and headed to Papa Chuck's house!  It was a fun day of Thanking God for sending his son, serving others, and spending time with people that we love!  

On a side note...Our family does NOT take the best morning pictures :)  LOL

Christmas Program

Allee and Emma were part of our church's Christmas Program this year, "Dude You Hear What I Hear."

It was a super cute program that helped remind people that Christmas is not about the presents it about Our Savior's Birth!

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Papa's

WOW! The kids look so grown up in these pictures! I always try to do a Grandkid picture every year so we can see how they have changed...I think this year you can see a huge change! They have such a great time together! Crazy Kids!

Our 1st Christmas in Our NEW Home!!!

WOW! It is so hard to believe that we Celebrated Christmas in our New Home that we have all worked so hard on! Simple Memories along the way have made it ALL worth while! Here our a few of our Favorite Pictures of our New Home decorated for Christmas! We weren't able to get all the decorations out so it was very simple...but I think it was probably one of our most beautiful! The girls and I found a new way to wrap presents this year! We used brown kraft paper and the girls decorated each package specially with glitter! Hope you enjoyed your Christmas together celebrating the birth of our Savior!

Our Christmas tree! The centerpiece on our table! A Few of the packages that were decorated under our tree!

I Loved each package! This is probably one of my all time favorite pics! Jesse, Allee, and Emma looking out into our backyard on Christmas Eve!

Love to you all!
