Christmas 2011

Here's the Christmas season in a nutshell.
 We kicked off December with the downtown Auburn parade and Grandaddy's birthday!!







 We had Caroline's dance demostration. This was her very first recital and we were very proud of her for being so brave!!



 Flowers from Daddy!!

Then Caroline had her school performance. She was very nervous and shy that day, but having GaGa, PaPa, Weezie and Grandaddy come to the class party afterward brought on a smile!!

Kate's class had a party too!! Good thing we had extra hands so I could get to both parties!


 Caroline's sweet friend and classmate, Thomas!

Later that day we headed to Calloway Gardens to see the Fantasy in Lights with GaGa and PaPa.


 The next weekend we were off to north Alabama to celebrate Christmas with Mamie, PawPaw and River (plus many more).


We squeezed in some Gingerbread house making!!

And got invited to go to the Teddy Bear Tee with some friends! Their mom won a 6 tickets in a raffle, so we were so glad to be included!

 We were still anxious about the giant size Teddy, but enjoyed the food, cookies, candy and story time!

 One of our sweet sweet babysitters, Miss Holly, came by to give the girls the best Christmas present. A life size card board castle they could color!!! Miss Holly has the opportunity to go to New York for an internship for a couple months, and we are going to miss her soooooo much!!!!

  
Next we had the annual Pizza and Presents with the Northcutt's!  I think the reason why I LOVE Christmas so much is because its an extra excuse to get together with family!!!

 Here we are, the night before Christmas! We set out our milk and cookies (and carrots of course).

Christmas morning gets better every year! Last year it was all about opening!!! The boxes could have been empty and we would have had just as great of time. This year it was neat to see their eyes widen as they opened the gifts and be shocked that Santa actually listened to some of their requests!!! Magical!!!

Then Christmas day afternoon we headed to Ponte Vedra for the Williams' Christmas!
 Can you guess what the girls got from GaGa and PaPa??? Their very first bikes!!!

 They love them!!!!! We ride every chance we get!!!
 We also got a second chance to decorate some cookies!!! 
Not much detail, sorry. But wanted to get it all posted before I forget!!!
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
