I could write many paragraphs about our Christmas happenings. However, I will just post some pictures of our good times. :)
Barry's family came over on Christmas Eve to eat, open gifts, and play. Yes, it was shorts weather...crazy, huh?! Our sister-in-law is one of the volleyball coaches at Texas State University. Emily really enjoyed playing volleyball with her. She even helped Emily practice her jump serves. Free coaching!
All prettied up for Christmas Eve church service. :)
It's a tradition for the kids to sleep in Jorden's room on Christmas Eve. Luke and Emily usually sleep in sleeping bags on the floor. This year they wised up! They carried, pushed really, their mattresses into Jorden's room. Every Christmas Eve Barry reads "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the family. This year as he was reading, Emily decided she needed to act out all of the pages. She and Barry took a bow after the reading...goofballs!!
Christmas morning...7am. The pictures aren't great...uugg! Yippie though....Barry gave me the camera I've been pining over. Yea!!!
Christmas morning with my new camera. I am excited to learn how to use it properly.
We went to Barry's mom's house on Christmas evening. It is always nice to catch up with Barry's big family. His mom is one of five children and a lot of the extended family gathers at her house on Christmas night.
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and created great memories that will make you smile for years to come. My love to all of you!!! xoxo
