Twas the Nights before Christmas....

And boy have we been busy!  Prepping for Christmas and anxiously awaiting time with our sweet families, we first brought some Christmas cheer at a nursing home.
 The kids singing and bringing smiles to the grandmas and grandpas

 Cash and Paige - a rare picture of the two buddies together!

We then drove down to celebrate Christmas with my family - it was a fun-filled 24 hours together!

 Christmas PJ's

 Reading books with Mormor

 Not sure what to say about this one - my mom is starting a March Madness family tournament:)  Hmm.

Nothing like a serenading princess!

We made it back home just in time for our church's Christmas Eve service.  It was such a neat blessing to be able to be at our church this year.  It was also my very first year hosting Christmas Eve with Ben's family and we just loved having our family to our house:)

 The whole family before our Christmas Eve service

 Reading The Night Before Christmas with Grams

 Our family Santa decided to make one last Christmas visit ..... just because I didn't laugh hard enough the first time, I guess:)

 The three cousins watching Santa leave

 Cousins!

 Spreading Reindeer Food outside 

And finally, cookies by the fireplace for Santa.

I think there are enough pictures of our Christmas festivities to fill an entire year's with of posts.

Such a great Christmas season! I love the ones of the kids putting out the reindeer food, and when they're all standing by the door watching Santa leave. Wonderful memories!
