Merry Christmas 2011

Merry Merry Christmas!!





 Taken at Destin Commons, December 23rd

After Christmas Eve services on the 24th

Claire prefers the tissue paper to what is inside the bag...

Christmas pjs for the four girls!

Putting out the cookies that Claire made for Santa

testing the milk...

On Christmas morning
Nicole and Claire admire the new kitchen

I made photo albums of our trip to
London and Paris for the girls


Kate's new artwork...showing some Vandy love :)

Claire's biddy baby from American Girl

Christmas night...on our way to our friends
 the Delaneys for dinner

Kate admires Claire's new trike...



Rich and his sneak attacks...this one on
Chelsea and Stephen

Katelyn somewhat reluctantly sides with her dad...
she knows about paybacks!!

These two...love a good game...so bring it on!


I think they declared themselves the winners!

On Monday evening we had the "day after dinner party"...my family loved it!



We all got dressed up and ate a big old turkey dinner
 by candlelight

After dinner the guys lit up cigars...what were they celebrating?
Life and all its simple and not so simple joys!!

We girls got mood rings...fun, festive, and no
aftertaste!! 

The girls decorated gingerbread houses

Claire worked very intently on hers...

When she wasn't eating gummy bears dipped in icing!!

This wonderful Christmas season is coming to a close.  It's about time to pack up the Christmas decorations (agony) and the kids (more of the same) and
head into the new year!!  2012 is going to be full of new adventures for our family...
I say let's do it!!
