I do realize that this is a giant post, but there were so many things all jammed into December my head is still spinning! Here is a little recap for all of you.....

We started things off with Justin's work party. Our one of only two times we actually get in a family picture.

Girls being good

At work party. Which we dubbed "Warner prom"
because we all get so dressed up

Me and my friends

Next was the
WNJ family party

Carley getting ready to see Santa

Danielle did good but she did not want to sit on Santa's lap! She got to ring his bell again this year, which she really likes! She asked for Santa to bring her a flute. Carley would not get down. I don't blame her. I remember being terrified of Santa as a kid too.

Then there was sickness all through the house. I think we were all some form of sick for about 2 weeks! Danielle fell asleep right in her chair one night after running a fever!


After we all got better it was time to really gear up for Christmas by baking Christmas cookies with friends!

Yummy!

The cookies were loaded with sprinkles!!!

Next was Christmas with my Dad and Kelly who came to our house for a couple days.
Grandpa Kurt being silly with his fake earring!

I got to make my very first Christmas dinner. I think I cooked straight from the time I got up until 4:30! I didn't screw anything up either so it was a great day eating and spending time with the people we love!!!

Danielle's Preschool Christmas concert. She was a little nervous at first.

But then she just got into the whole thing!! It was so cute.

After they would finish a song the audience would clap and Danielle would clap for herself too. She even through in a loud
WHOOOO HOOOO too!

Carley's first pig tails! What a big girl she is getting to be.

Next up, Christmas at Grandma Becky's house

Sitting so
nicely together. You would never know they don't get along very well a lot of the time. I choose my pictures wisely!

They loved the dogs they got from Uncle Dan and Aunt "
Raura" Laura

The girls both love to sleep with their doggies every night

Christmas #3 at aunt
Charliss's.... I think...I might have lost count by now.

Ride em' present

Christmas at Grandma Billie's with the cousins

Danielle not really loving the makeup application but she was a good sport.

Aunt Shana and the girls

Christmas at home!!!!!!! This was probably the worst present ever but Danielle just loved it. She had been asking Santa to bring her a flute for the longest time! When I asked her what other presents she wanted, she said "I just want a flute mom. Nothing else."

Of course I had to get Carley one too!

So excited

Danielle got a Super Why costume and doll. It is one of her favorite characters on T.V. I wonder what she'll be wearing for Halloween next year???

Girls in their homemade dresses from
ETSY.com I don't think I'll ever put the girls in pants again. I just love them!
So now we are done with most of December and it is time to relax. January is Justin's birthday and Feb. is Danielle's. I have a 5 day breather until the fun starts again!

Looks like a fun December. We missed going to the parties and seeing you. Congrats on your first big (I should say huge) holiday dinner--it looked delish!
