Celebrations Galore

December has been an absolutely crazy month. It's hard to believe that in just a couple of days 2013 will be behind us.

The past month has been filled with family, fun, food, trips, celebrations, programs . . . and very little time to breathe. Which is why my Christmas stuff is all still up. I just haven't worked up the energy to take it all down, and I want to enjoy it just a couple more days.

I took about 300 pictures over the past three weeks but for the sake of your sanity I'll spare you and not post all of them on here. I'll try and keep it to a minimum.

Andrew's school did two performances of the same Christmas program. One was on a Thursday evening, and the second was for the school during chapel on the day school got out for Christmas. Both were entertaining, but the second performance had a bit more "comedic" value.

 
The many faces of Andrew . . . 




 
 
The kindergarten and first grade classes also put on a nativity play on the day school got out. Andrew was a shepherd and quite a cute one if I do say so.
 



 
Christmas Eve . . .
My mom's cat and my sister's dog. They're buddies.



 


 
New Christmas jammies . . . only they're not technically "Christmas" jammies . . .





I got some great gifts for Christmas. The trip to Key West was the main gift from my parents, but my mom did get my sister and I each a really cute Vera Bradley bag.
 
 
And the gift of the year . . . Kindle Paperwhite. I'm so excited to have this since I hate reading on my iPad.

Santa came and left quite a few goodies on Christmas Eve.
 
Christmas Day . . . 





 
Hanging out and being lazy at Mimi and Opa's.

 

Picture time at Mimi and Papa-Doo's.

Oh look my big head is almost completely blocking Cari's face . . . nice . . . you'd think in the age of digital cameras these things wouldn't happen.

At this point they were over it. They wanted to open gifts and play.
 
And that's another Christmas come and gone. It's hard to believe that it was Andrew's seventh Christmas. I'm looking forward to 2014 and all the exciting things it holds for our family.
 
Now if someone would be so kind as to come take down all this Christmas stuff . . .
