Christmas 2011

Ok, I need to apologize up front because this will be a lengthy post.  I decided to include all of our Christmas Festivities in one post.  I tried to keep everything in the order it happened.  Since I am having my blog made into a book I included a lot of pictures. 


Baking Day

Hannah learned to sign I love you.  It is so cute because she looks like she is saying "rock on".

Izzie taking Hannah's new luggage for a spin

I love these ladies!

Heather was trying to get Hannah to take a nap and she kept yelling "open the door"  then she yelled "Hunnnnnner"  so being like his momma he couldn't stand it and went to talk to her.

Lotta(Mrs. Stokes) always makes a homemade pinata and jams it full of candy.  The kids love this tradition.

Frosty was huge

 Haley doesn't hit the pinata.  She doesn't like everyone watching her.

Frosty after - you kind of feel sorry for him

My WONDERFUL family

It's hard to believe I took this using my camera remote and all 19 of us are smiling and looking the right direction.

I am so thankful for the wonderful Christmas we had.  We spent time with family and friends and had a blast.  I love my family and the closeness we share.  I thank God for them everyday!

Merry Christmas 2011!!!!
