Christmas 2011

Wow, this Christmas was FUN! They have all been fun but Jane Baird is at a really fun age and there has been a lot of excitement about Christmas. We have read the Christmas story in her bible almost every night so that she would understand the reason for the season. She loves celebrating birthday's so she was excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday and she even sang to him.

My sister, Reagan, and her family came in to town Friday evening. JB has been talking about her cousins, Reese and Davis, for months. She was over the moon excited when they arrived!

We spent Christmas Eve day with Alan's family. We had a nice lunch and then opened presents. Jane Baird got lots of presents and she kept saying "give me another one!" or "I want another present!" She was spoiled as usual and had lots of gifts to open I love this picture! Jordan, Samantha, and Jane Baird opening one of their gifts from Nene and Papa. Jane Baird fits right in with the big girls :)

Christmas Eve night we went to our candle light service at church (which was absolutely beautiful) and then went to spend the rest of the evening with my family at Grandma and Pops' house. We had a big shrimp boil and just hung out.

When we got home, it was time to sprinkle the Reindeer Food in the yard. Jane Baird dumped the whole bag in one spot!

Milk and Cookies for Santa! We made White Chocolate & Cranberry cookies. They were so good and Santa enjoyed them.

After Jane Baird went to sleep, Santa came for a visit!

Jane Baird decided she would sleep in so we went to wake her up! Sleepy girl!

This is JB's new um-ee-yea-ya! She has been wanting one of these and was so excited to get it!

We took tons and tons of pictures. I will try to post more over the next few days.
