Holiday Highlights

Just a few photo highlights from our week of Christmas. It's a hodge-podge!



This is the photo we used on our Christmas cards this year. Taken at the downtown treelighting in Cumberland. Brrr was it cold but the perfect way to start off the holiday!

Raegan and Bailey before we rushed off to the church Christmas program.


We spent Christmas eve with Mimi & Pappy (Joel's mom & dad). The kids were entertaining us with some Christmas carols. Yes, Raegan's mouth is blue - the result of several blue candy canes! Shhh.....don't tell her orthodontist.

This was what Santa left on his plate after his stop at our house. He actually licked the cream out of the middle of the Oreo! Raegan was sure he would like the Hannah Montana cup.


This picture is self-explanatory! The very last gift was the best - Thank you Santa!


Raegan had asked for this since the summer. It's a flipper that you put on your feet when you are swimming to swim like a mermaid. She is obsessed with mermaids!!


This dolls name is "Reagan". We were so excited to find a doll with her name that we just had to get it for her, even if they spelled it a bit differently than we did. Here, Mimi is babysitting the doll for Raegan while she opened her presents at their house.


Later in the afternoon my parents and Christina and the kids arrived. Notice that Lanie's babydoll is waving at the camera.

Samuel and Chandler in a rare moment of brotherly "cease-fire".

Bennett was rolling up his tape measure that came with his new Home Depot Toolbox!



Later in the week we all got together at mom and dad's church for games and food. This picture of Jacob in Grammy's glasses makes me laugh. He's such a cutie!



A favorite game in our family - TWISTER!


We decided to get all the kids in one picture since we had them all together. This was Take 1....


And this was take 2. We managed to get everyone in the shot, we even woke Rebecca up from her nap and plopped her down in Jacob's lap. Mean, I know!


What a crew of blessings!
