Merry Christmas!

Our family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve after church. 

Shoot me now because my almost 15 year old daughter is a beautiful girl with great legs. 

We hid her and her legs in the back (just kidding) in this photo. It's good to have my Dad & his wife with us for the holiday!

We read the book Donkey Daniel before we open gifts. I got the book in Sunday School in 1978. Every year it makes me smile to see my own children take turns reading this gem!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Jingle Bell Run!

It's that time of year in Arizona where the weather is nice and there are many fun runs!

I did the Jingle Bell Run with some girlfriends. Fun and also a good reason to wear a tutu, because we all know I LOVE tutus!

My girlfriends chest all decorated! 

Even saw another girlfriend I used to work with there with her family!

Christmas Eve

Hannah played Christmas Carols at church before the service on Christmas Eve.

A book we read before opening presents. It is from when I was a child. It is a very sweet children's book of the Christmas story.

Christmas Morning

Hannah got a pair of boots, skinny jeans and her black plaid shirt for Christmas. She is looking more grown up than I would like to admit. She is all dressed in her Christmas best.
Santa was good to me with some Burt's Bee's pampering items.

Hannah got a sweater and tank in her favorite color from Santa.

Simon got a Nintendo DS game. He was a happy boy!
