Tis the Season to be Jolly

I was beyond excited about the holidays this year with our expanded family. We started off the year with decorating our house the weekend before Thanksgiving. We had help in town from my parents and sister and so we knew we would be crazy if we didn't get the decorations up while we had help. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that the twins seemed to pay more attention to the news on TV then the Christmas tree but they seemed to enjoy it more and more each day and I am sure that next year it will be an even bigger hit then I would like it to be! As a stay at home mommy it was especially nice for me to have the decorations up to enjoy during my days. The twins and I had so much fun singing all the Christmas songs which gave us a break from our everyday songs that we sing throughout the day!

These are some of our photos taken at my parents home that we used for our Christmas card. I was so excited to have Gracie and Bailey on our card this year.


I absolutely love the way that Gracie is looking at her daddy in this pic!


Mommy is all ready to go to her Inpatient Hospice Unit's Christmas Party. Uncle Parker and Aunt Nicole were sweet to babysit so we could attend. Daddy and I had a great time!

Our Family pic with Santa at Preston's work Christmas party. We are SO blessed that Preston's work has a family Christmas Party that provides fun activities for the children and babysitters! Gracie and Bailey were on their best behavior for the party and we all had fun.

Last but not least....we hosted a Christmas Party at our home for our extended family. It was great because so many relatives had not yet had a chance to meet Gracie and Bailey and so it was the perfect opportunity to reconnect with family.
