Anywho....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! We had a wonderful holiday season, enjoying so many of the fun family traditions that we do. Let's see, where do I begin. We hosted my favorite holiday of Thanksgiving at our house for my side of the family. Always love that. Food and family. Doesn't get better than that if you ask me. Then the Christmas season officially began. And we were able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas concert at Lauren's school. Her class sang 4 songs. And she did a great job and looked so pretty right in the front row! Mommy also enjoyed a neat new event at our church called "CCG Pinterest Live".....I was pretty busy most of the fall season helping to prepare for it with our ladies' ministry team. And it went off beautifully. God is good! We had over 600 ladies enjoy it with us too! We as a family did our normal little Christmas fun things, like visiting Christmas lights while eating Chinese take-out food in the van : ) , making gingerbread houses together, watching ELF....a few hundred times....., and heading the Childrens' Museum on Christmas Eve day for some family time. We also were able to see almost ALL of our extended family for the holidays and spent many fun evenings eating and laughing together with so many that we love! What a perfect way to end 2013.
Now the kids and Mama are enjoying the last few days of break before school starts up again on Monday. And to top it off, we woke up today to 6 inches of snow on the ground so looks like we'll end our vacation fun with some sledding, snowboarding, fort-making
