not going to lie there may have been hopes for a christmas baby. i mean how fun would that be?!?! but it didn't happen. and we are trying real hard to be patient. though maybe not doing so good at that.
anywho. back to christmas.
it was good
here are a few christmas memories....
1. we visited santa and there was no tears. there also was no sitting on santas lap for maggie, but that is a-ok with me.
2. we had a baking day. it was so fun. we baked up a number of yummy treats that we were able to share with our family and friends.
3. christmas eve candlelight service. always one of my favorite parts of christmas. so amazing to celebrate the greatest gift ever given. silent night by candlelight is just so....perfect. i didn't get any pictures. but trust me it was good. and the girls were all about the candles. cece held hers with a purpose. at one point she whispered to me "my hand is sweating" candle holding is serious business. ellie shared her candle with maggie. maggie enjoyed holding it and was oh so tempted to touch the flame. she also sang a little happy birthday to jesus. it was sweet.
4. this picture. i just love it. honestly we did not plan this. we just all made the same funny face. cracks me up. also if you flash back to last christmas miss maggie's expression screamed "help me" this year....well....she is one of us now. lets leave it at that.
6. family gatherings. we were able to see so many family members. great memories were made.
it was a good christmas.
so good.
I just LOVE these pictures! There is so much love, happiness, and family. And I know there was more chaos, sweating, and possibly tears than the pictures show, but that is the best part of having little ones together.
