Christmas Day

Christmas Eve we loaded up the car and headed for Hartselle.  We made a stop down in Aberdeen to see PaPaw before leaving Mississippi. 

Car all loaded up and ready to go!

Christmas Eve we headed over to my sister’s for pizza and decorating cookies.  I hate that I didn’t get pictures of us decorating cookies.  The girls always make it more fun!

Christmas morning we woke up to this!

This is around 7AM.

By 8ish it was this.

Then around 10:30ish it was this!

It snowed all day!!  It was amazing waking up to an actual WHITE Christmas!!!!  We ended up getting about 3-4 inches. 

We had a few great surprises this year!  Daniel surprised DeAnne with a Cricut Cake!  She had no idea he was getting her one. 

Mom was really surprised by her gift from all of us…a nook!! DeAnne lent Mom hers for a few days to see if she liked it (we were already thinking about this an idea).  Mom loved the fact it didn’t strain your eyes as much and she could read using one hand. 

Mom made the girls each a ruffle skirt. I have not seen so many ruffles in so long!  Too bad I can’t have one too. Look at those ruffles!!

DeAnne loved her apron I made her!  I have really enjoyed learning to sew more and loved making aprons.  I am toying with the idea of opening up an Etsy shop.  (Gasp!  I actually said that out loud!)

Brian and I both were blessed to receive so many wonderful gifts from family and each other.  I believe Brian ended up getting 90 bucks worth of iTunes.  Everyone knows that is a great filler for him when they run out of ideas or need to fill up the budget. 

Here are a few more random Christmas pictures.
