I love this time of year and struggle every year when it comes to an end! I am already looking forward to next Christmas and making the most of every day until then! We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We stayed home (since Jeremy was on call) instead of traveling to Ozark on Christmas day and it made for a much less stressful holiday for us! We always feel so rushed with both of our families, and this year we were able to spend lots of quality time with both! Here is an overview of what Christmas was like for us this year. Warning!!!! There are lots of pictures....always my favorite part!
This was our Christmas card picture this year! Don't know if I'll ever be able to top this one! He was doing his touchdown pose, which also looked like he was praising God. So.....that is what our Christmas card said, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." It worked out perfect and looked so sweet on the paper sack brown cards I found at Hobby Lobby.
Here is Greer lining up his toys! I love it! One of his new things he does every now and then.
Greer playing in one of the boxes!
One of my favorite pics from this year!
Decorations for Jesus Birthday party!
Uncle Allen lighting Jesus' birthday cake! A new tradition for our family!
I hope Greer loves it as much as I do!
Greer getting ready to sing! He is excited! Check out the flames on the candles.
I don't know if you can tell, but they were colored flames the same color as the candle...red and green of course!
Taking communion at church. Who else would take pictures in church but......Ji Ji! LOL!
Greer checking out the nativity.....AND
decided he would be Baby Jesus one more time! I was so embarrassed!
(he was the Baby Jesus for "A Night in Bethlehem" last year at our church)
Such a cute picture!
So they had a table where the children could choose what person or animal they would be from the bible. Greer went to the animal table and picked up the lamb outfit. I didn't actually think he would want to participate with the other children, but he made a "b line" to the front of the church with the other children.
Here is my little ham! We were laughing so hard....along with everyone else!
Love this picture!
Ji Ji and Paw Paw at church with us. Love the red!
A family tradition! Daddy reads The Night Before Christmas to us!
And Santa came of course! Greer was a good boy this year!
(except we are working on not biting...which he usually only does when he is teething and not throwing his food at the dinner table....both are hard habits to break!)
Oh wow!!!!
Kiss the Cook!!!!
Trying to make a phone call to invite some friends over for breakfast at "Chef Greer's"!
He loves his German spinning top
Little Explorer
Checking it all out! So glad he doesn't fit inside this kitchen!
Greer's sippy cup (he looks like he is drinking coffee in his old man pajamas! Love it!)
And how could we forget Hope! Sweet baby girl has taken a major backseat since Greer's arrival!
Hitting a snow ball off the tee ball set Uncle Allen gave me! I am such a big boy now.
Checking out the calendar Greer made for Paw Paw and Ji Ji
Relaxing from opening all my presents!
LOL! Greer didn't know what to think!
Sweet boys!
Loving the new train from Aunt Aimee and Uncle Josh
Aunt Aimee and Uncle Josh swinging with me! I love them!
Sleeping beauties.....Sweet brothers!
And they decided to cuddle after they knew I was taking pictures
The spread from Jeremy's family. Forgot to do this for my family. Oh well! I'll remember to do it next year. I still love looking back at my present pictures as a child and reminiscing on the toys and things I was into at that age. Some of the toys I played with are still around or they are making a comeback. Can we say Hello Kitty!
Jeremy's mom got us all matching shirts to take a family picture in. Greer even matched us all. It worked out perfect. He looked like a little conductor when he drove his train all over the house that day!
Gramps and Mi Mi with Greer
I love this picture! Check out the ball in mid air. Greer's new train shoots balls out when he presses the magic button. He loves it!
We were blessed with wonderful friends and family to celebrate this wonderful time of year with! Happy Birthday Jesus!
(Greer did learn to go to our nativity scene every time I asked him where the Baby Jesus was. He also became very familiar with Santa. Unfortunately, Santa is more often seen around town than Jesus' picture.
