It's Official...

I am a procrastinator :)  I even thought about doing this last night but remembered I had one more day :) Turns out a lot went on this week!  This is a big post!!!!   Here are some pics from Christmas this year.  We had a great time this season with N being home (literally) he got off of work on Dec 11.  The kids have really enjoyed their daddy being home to play all day.  They are going to go into shock when he goes to work.  He is just a big kid and is really, really great with those 2 little red heads... We drove to a "Light Parade" and sadly it just wasn't the same as the one in Charleston. Man, that one is amazing!!!  But the kids didn't notice the difference.  C has been asking to go to the light parade since last Christmas.  One would think, kids forget...but they don't.  Didn't get any pictures, i had many small children in my lap!  A church around the corner had a living nativity which was neat to go to.  Kids liked it and thought the animals were pretty cool.  It was cold.  I wore my baby!  Literally.  He was cozy.

Christmas Eve was low key.  We baked cookies for our neighbors (and us :) and went to a family church service at (fingers crossed) our new church.

Christmas Day was pretty much perfect, except missing our families at home.  We let the kids take their time opening presents and delayed Christmas Dinner until the 26th so we could just relax and have fun on Christmas Day.  I totally lost my voice and it is coming back slowly.  Still waiting to read the books the kids got for christmas to them...  Star Wars Santa showed up in force (he he) and C was thrilled.  I made Santa even out the boyness with a nice big girly horse...she loved that as well!  J J was so neat to watch because he seriously had no expectations and couldn't believe he kept getting toys.  Every thing he opened he took his time and was so meticulous with the tearing of paper.  He was so excited with every thing he opened.  G just chilled usually in my lap therefore limiting the amount of pictures taken.  N got a lot of video though :)
