6 days of Christmas

This year we had a full week of christmas celebrations with each of our different family groups...we were a bit anxious about how the kids would hold up through so many get-togethers and travels but they did great!-thank you God! on the way home from the last day Will asked me "what kind of exciting things are going to happen tomorrow??" i said "nothing" and began to prepare myself for the let-down. :)

Day 1- Celebrations with my sis and brother-in law at mom's house

3 little cousins

 

 

Day 2- Celebrations with Andrew's immediate family

 

 

 

this is our "sock" picture- each year we all get a new pair of smart wools and then try to see if we and all of our feet can make it in the picture!

Day 3- Celebration with my Dad at our house

 

Day 4 (Christmas eve) Celebration with mom and Rex

 

 

Will made the announcement that he plans on becoming a knight when he grows up AND he informed us that dad will stop flying and also become a knight when he grows up.

Day 5- Christmas Day - at home and then Celebrating with A's extended family

 

Day 6- Celebration in Sterling with my extended family- Andrew had to fly out on the afternoon of the 25th so the kids and i went by on our own. thankfully, my brother decided to ride with us. he was great at fetching pacifiers, sippy cups and bunnies during the car ride!
