our christmas company was a day late due to icy weather along their way. we tried to make up the time as best we could. kindle helped me surprise richard with his christmas gift, a smoker, and the kids were able to help us in the kitchen with christmas cookies!
isaac had us laughing so hard. his thoughts on these cookies… “i had a bad idea!” he did not think they tasted very good.
christmas eve afternoon we packed up presents and headed out for lunch at gramps and grannys. we were all able to attend christmas eve mass together which is always so special.
most of the babies are the boys so we tried getting a shot of all of them…
we tried.
the kids waited patiently though …
this year was the first year we had caroling from the kids. they had a practice and all!
the college kids… enjoying their christmas break.
oh the minions are so loved by these kids 🙂
christmas morning was oh so fun!
these kids must have been really good.
before we all parted ways the kids were able to sing happy birthday to jesus. it is so much fun to see jack experience this. he gets so excited!
it was a very merry christmas for everyone!
