Its Christmas Time AGAIN!!!

Kids just wait and wait for Christmas, the anticipation almost kills them.  The excitement is just almost too much to bear!!!  For me on the other hand...it always seems to come to quickly.  I never seem to be prepared enough.  I have never been the person that over thinks, over plans and is over prepared for any holiday!!!  I hope my kids will forgive me for that!! Most times we're just flying by the seat of our pants.  I do love Christmas, but as happy as I am to see it come, I am equally happy to have it over!!
Here are a few pictures of our holiday fun!!!

Of course the beginning of December is the prep time!  Decorating...trimming the tree....and how could we be without the Christmas cookies!!!  I love, love, love Nutcrackers...can you tell?

The Saturday before Christmas is always our family Christmas Parties...this year we decided to have a PJ Christmas so everyone gave each other jammies!!!  I thought it was so fun!!! Now we need to find a new theme for next years gifts!!!

 Santa ALWAYS comes to the party at Grandmas and sings some songs with us...this year Aunt Teressa  has the kids come to her house and decorate gingerbread houses.

Santa brings the kids their matching PJ's and gets in last minute requests!!!  Don't they all look so great!?!?

 Present time!!!  Thanks everyone for making our Christmas so fun!!!

 Christmas Morning!!!

Christmas was on Sunday this year....here are all the kids dressed up in their Sunday best!!!  What a great time of year, its so nice to be able to focus on the true meaning of Christmas...our love for our Savior and the love we have for each other...and to focus on serving others.
