Day 24 / Christmas Day

 In the early morning hours, the kids wake up with so much energy knowing that Santa has visited our home. We were blessed to have Grammy and Grampy staying with us for Christmas morning, and it was also fun to have Junebug celebrate her very first Christmas!

A few, or more than a few photos from our Christmas Day.

Avery was not quite awake..And Finn is the most present-motivated of all of our brood.

Santa brought her a stocking too..Santa love his Doggy so very much.

The joy of new legos.

Later in the day.

Christmas Month Day 23/ The Night Before Christmas

On the night before Christmas..The kids go to bed early, and we stayed up late drinking wine, doing last minute wrapping, stuffing stockings and I always watch a Christmas movie. This year it was 'The Holiday'. A classic, I don't care how girly my husband this it is. And before they go to bed, I always get the completely dark house/tree light lit picture. They look so big in front of the tree this year! 

Christmas Month, Day 22 (Addie is EIGHT!)

 Well, this one is picture-heavy. But your little girl only turns EIGHT once, right? The Christmas-Eve birthday can be hard. All of her celebrations are so Christmas-y, but she never complains.

Addison is our bright, caring, tender-hearted young lady. Hard to believe that she is eight and in two years we will be in the double-digit birthday's.

We had a little celebration of cake and gifts at my studio, and we returned home to ready for Christmas morning. Addie felt special, and we are blessed for another amazing year with her.

Our traditional birthday waffles.
