We had the best holiday season this year. The kids were absolutely precious and made everything even sweeter. When I asked the kids why we celebrate Christmas they always said, "Because it's Jesus birthday!" Yay, that is what it is all about. Cayson gave away 1/2 his LOL dolls to his cousins and Isabella said "see that is what Christmas is about...giving"...be still my heart!! SO thankful. I think each year will just get sweeter and sweeter. 

We kicked off the holiday week with watching the Grinch and eating at La Madeline with my sweet family!

Addi's face! So sad its a little blurry!

Sleeping by the tree in sleeping bags...one of their favorite traditions....

Christmas Eve service with the sweet Martin/McDonald crew

Mama with all the grand babies

Addi's reaction to me telling her these cookies were for Santa was priceless! 

Then we let her have a taste and she was happy:)

Love our sweet family!

Our sweet little gift giver gave us our presents before she opened hers:)

Acting out Jesus birth is my favorite every year. Poor Mary looked more like a sumo wrestler than pregnant this year haha
