Christmas...round 3 and DONE!

We wrapped up our Christmas in Alabama last night with my family.

It's always a little sad when everything is over:( my thoughts go to the LONG ride we have ahead of us to get back home to Florida. But I have really enjoyed getting to spend time with the family as the girls absolutely LOVE getting to See their cousins.

 And I found this little gem as I was looking at my pictures..HA

The two 14 yr old on their phones and the little ones about to shoot them with their new Nerf guns:)


And if you are wondering what I was doing most of the night... this is it::

Holding sweet Tucker, My great nephew. I don't get to see him nearly as often as I would like so I may be a "baby hog" when I am home.

 And mine & Amanda's attempt at a selfie.

Christmas 2014 was a success. God has blessed us beyomd measure and we are looking forward to see what God is going to do in 2015.

Alabama Christmas....round one

We made it to Alabama and are spending the next few days with my in-laws. We had dinner and Christmas with them tonight.

We had a great time catching up with everyone.

Christmas Morning ( round one)

We had an exciting Christmas morning with 2 of the 3 girls waking us up before 7AM!

We started the morning by Reading the Christmas story: McKinley read it this year.

We always remind the girls that the reason we give gifts at Christmas is because JESUS gave us the best gift of all.  Although it's exciting for "Santa" to come we never want our girls to miss the REAL reason for Christmas.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!

Merry Christmas

From my Family to yours, We pray you have a Blessed Christmas!

Luke 2 :11

Today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Christmas Eve Pasts

These pictures were on my time hop for today, I love looking back and comparing pictures and seeing
how the girls have grown.

 Wow, look the difference a year or two makes.. McKinley finally has all her teeth:)

Christmas break began 3 days ago and we've made some Christmas cookies:

We've played in the yard:

But mostly we've been having fun with London:)

 Madison was all ready for church with her purse!

Happy Monday!

5 more days....

Till Christmas and I know two little people who can't wait!!

Instagram

Here are my Instagram pictures for the week..I am much better about Instagramming than I am about blogging, so occasionally I will just post some of my instagram pics.

 Loved that picture!! David was getting the fire going and London was right there next to him.

 McKinley &

London are buddies! She spoils her...They slept like this for an hour that night.

Happy Thursday!

Christmas programs...X two!

Madison had her Christmas program on Monday. She was so excited about getting dressed up and singing. I have heard "Go tell it on the mountain" about 32,789 times in the last two weeks!

Madison did great and she loves to be on stage:)

Next up... McKinley! She had her Christmas program on Tuesday night.

I can't believe that Christmas is in 8 days!!!!!!!

Sadie..

Well the two "Little's" wanted to start doing the Elf on the self, I love starting new traditions so meet
Sadie the Elf

McKinley named her Sadie from Duck Dynasty..Ha!

McKinley & Madison have loved waking up each morning to see where Sadie will be or what she has gotten into...except Friday night I forgot to hide her...whoops!!!

Below are a few of the places Sadie has been.

Taking a bubble bath and making a "salt" angel:)

And this morning Sadie got into my blueberry muffins!

We are only on day 7 and I'm all out of creative ideas.... I'm in trouble! So if you have any cute ideas leave me a comment:)

Blessings!

DECKING THE HALL'S

I have been a very bad blogger lately, so I am going to try and attempt to blog at least once or twice a week. I struggle to find things to write about but I have had a few people ask me to please keep blogging, so I thought I would do a little " Christmas home tour" I put up my decorations before Thanksgiving...GASP! I know, I have never done that before but this year I was just in the mood.

I don't go All out like some people do, I just don't have enough storage to do that:)

This is one of my favorite books to read to the girls each year:

Yes we have an extra stocking this year...for London!

On my dinning room table I just a have little centerpiece.

If you look close the two glass jars on the ends were full with red/green M&M's but every time
someone (David) walks by he grabs a handful. I've told the kids they were only for decoration not to eat..guess I should have told my hubby too!

The girls did their annual gingerbread houses this weekend so they are also out:)

I couldn't get McKinley to put London down for the pic..that girl is ATTACHED!!


Happy Sunday!
