Christmas Traditions...

I LOVE Christmas....I love everything about it. I have vowed to myself that I will not have expectations for this season. I just want to enjoy it. (so far, so good :)) Here are a few of our Christmas traditions and memories so far from this year. 

Pictures with Santa at the Pitts' house

Nature in Lights at BLORA with homemade wassail and Christmas carols blaring on the radio

Bible Study Christmas party (these people are crazy...I love them)

the girls participated in our 2nd annual "favorite things" exchange- SO FUN 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

This year we got to put up Christmas decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving! One extra week to enjoy the sparkling lights and Christmas JOY! The kids even have new trees for their rooms, too. (Cam's pink tree is my favorite!!) 

We also had a fire in the fireplace, made s'mores and hot chocolate. It was SO FUN!! We have learned how to soak up our time with daddy when he's home.

Erika and Nick's wedding!!

We had SO MUCH FUN last weekend at Nick and Erika's wedding at Angel Springs in Georgetown. Everything was so personal and perfect!! Even with the freezing temperatures outside, we had a blast catching up with family and celebrating Mr. and Mrs. Beer!! 

every table was covered in pictures and a catch phrase game
