Christmas Day!

We spent Christmas Eve night at a hotel in order to have Christmas morning together as a family. We started out with breakfast (from Rick's bakery, we got the day before - yum!), we opened our presents from each other, then Daddy read us Luke 2 the story about Jesus' birth (the Christmas story).

Here's Madilynn with the apron I made for her! - Wow! I couldn't believe that I finished a sewing project and it turned out so cute!

Mommy got a new journal and pens
Daddy got a tray for his wallet and keys that I painted and put pictures of Madilynn on it..

Then we were off to lunch and visiting with Memaw, Pepaw and Uncle G. Here's Madilynn with the tree - I actually caught her standing still and smiling!

Madilynn got a big kitchen!! (I'll put up pics later of it put together once we got home)

Then we headed over to Nana and Papa and Ashlee's for dinner! Here's Madilynn with the tree again. But I'm going to have to do a better job next year of getting Madilynn's picture with the grandparents while we are there.

My parents got us these ice scraper mits from Eddie Bauer... I had never seen anything like it before and I thought it was just perfect for Iowa - haha!

I made this little sign for my mom's kitchen!

Here is my sister Ashlee with the plaque I made for her room!

Here's Madilynn with a new outfit from Nana & Papa - so cute!
