Christmas Happenings

December has been a fun and crazy month! My favorite has been having daddy home to hang out, sleep in with, and play games with. I love love love having him around!!! Here are some other highlights:

Nana (Ben's mom) took all the girls to the Nutcracker in Eugene. It was such a fun and new experience! Raquelle had never done anything like that before! It was fun sitting with her and whispering in her ear what was happening and having her continue to ask why the girls were wearing panties! :) And why it was okay that you could see them when they danced! :) LOL! The ballet was amazing and it was a fun day despite Raquelle being right in the middle of a cold!

The cousins
A day before Christmas we headed to Reedsport to hook up with Ben's family for a very low key, yet very fun Christmas! We hung out and didn't do much at all...so relaxing! On the 28th we went over to Ben's aunt's house for some fun, games and the infamous family white elephant!! We actually came away with our OWN gifts! LOL! - so we took the receipt and took them back! LOL!! It was pretty funny!!! So, it was actually the best white elephant I've had! :)
While we were there, my amazing cousin Jamie took us all out to the road in front of our aunt's house and took some family pics! She is such a great photog (check out her website) and so good at capturing some fun and candid moments!! Love you Jamie...thanks for the memories! :)

Then we got home and my family came up for another Christmas celebration!! They just left New Year's Eve, so we've been in our Pj's for the past two days just loving our last few days at home with daddy!! Thank you Lord for our amazing family and such fun memories!!
