A whole lot of fun

Christmas was amazing!  The girls are at such awesome ages which made it so fun for us.  We spent a lot of the month getting into the Christmas spirit with Christmas shows and movies.  Both girls did a ton of holiday crafts in school, we baked, baked and baked some more!

A few photos from our travels to see Jim's family, back home for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at our house (1st time ever since having kids that we were in our own house on Christmas morning), Christmas Day at my parents' house (6 minutes away, not 5.5 hours away).  Still weird thinking about that. 

We spent the weekend after Christmas visiting our friends in Maryland.  Jim got a taste of good hunting with our friend.  Guys hunted, ladies took care of a bunch of kids!  Who got the better deal on that one?  Just kidding, all the kids were awesome.  Our girls loved playing with friends and fit right in immediately!

 Fancy dresses from Grandma and Papa.  I tried to get a decent picture of them together in their dresses but they didn't cooperate.  Can you tell?!
 Exchanging sister gifts on Christmas Eve.
 Cookies, milk and veggies for Santa and the reindeer.

 Spreading reindeer food by the chimney in the snow on Christmas Eve.  Kinda nice having snow on the holiday.






 Excited about the chapstick and nail polish Santa left in her stocking.
The important Daddy job of opening all the annoying boxes and tabs.
Izzy was too tired to move out of the middle of the chaos, so she just rested in the pile of crap!
What my house looked liked Christmas Day.  Can you say "trashed" really loud.  I think it stayed this way for a day or two before I finally went crazy and cleaned like a nut!
Lots more photos to share of our time spent at Nana and Pap Pap's and new pictures of baby Reese.  Real pictures of baby Reese happening next week.  Can't wait!
