I was another wonderful Christmas with my family. I really love to be in my own home on Christmas morning and it's always a bonus that my brother spends the night Christmas Eve so he's there with us in the morning. The children absolutely adore this tradition and look forward to it every year.
Gingerbread contest. My brother and Ady were on a team and Drew and Will was a team...
We ventured to the Dallas Zoo for their light special with my family...
Ady was in the church Christmas Eve service as a dancer...
And when she signed up to dance Will asked if he could be on stage too so we signed him up for the choir! We practiced the songs with him and he did great!
Last year was my first year with some Spode plates. My mother in law got me started on them and I'm so excited to use formal plates on Christmas. I've added a bit this year and love my little collection.
So the big family gift from Uncle Bean (and some from Gramma and Poppa) was a ping pong table. To say the kiddos are hooked is an understatement and they are constantly out there. I grew up with a table and so did Derek so I'm excited for family time out on our patio playing!
Christmas Eve we decorated cookies as usual...
Our tree this year was wide and beautiful!
I love the calm and silence the night before Christmas when the kiddos are in bed.
Christmas morning was full of happiness, banana bread and the perfect family time...

I created a scavenger hunt in order to tell the kiddos where we were going for spring break. They were crazy excited for their first cruise!
Cheers to another wonderful Christmas season!
