I thought I'd post my small amount of Christmas pictures before February. Looks like I'll just make it. We had a great time for the entire month of December. I thought about what we could do to create a sense of expectation for Christmas this year, and though I don't have a lot of pictures of every event, I felt like both kids, especially Avery were excited about Christmas as well as the true meaning of Christmas. She seemed to have a great time sharing about the Nativity with her friends and decorating gingerbread houses and cookies throughout the month. It made Christmas morning that more special, because we had all made a point to get excited about the day for weeks.
I inherited some pretty amazing friends when I married Paul. While at Regent, Paul met a group of people who are still close to this day. We invited them and their kids to decorate Christmas cookies with us.
My parents came up for Christmas, so we waited to put our big gingerbread house together until Christmas Eve. Avery had so much fun with Nana. I wish I had the complete house picture, but it looks like I never took one. Oops!
My brother and I played carols on Christmas Eve. The kids loved listening to the songs

Adam loves sitting in Avery's chair and reading or jumping around in it. Nana Judd gave him his own this year, and he loves it!
