Christmas - Part 2

We've scheduled, canceled, and rescheduled many of our Christmas celebrations because of our snowy weather. However, before the weather got too bad, we were fortunate enough to get to celebrate with lots of friends and family.

Last week Aubrey came over and the girls had an absolute blast. Zora was very excited to receive a "Best Friends" necklace from Aub. Here they are putting their two halves of the necklace together...

Later that day our little buddy Corbin came over and gave both of the girls art kits. Our cousins Ty and Lorie also came over for a Christmas play date...

And we loved making a visit to Gigi. Our favorite part of that visit was the warm brownies and milk she fixed. Mmmmmm...

Some friends that we were anxiously waiting for were the Voss family. We were so glad they were able to come all the way from Arizona for Christmas. The girls were very excited about the tea sets they got from them.

Noah was really happy about his Transformer.

Here are some pictures from our Christmas celebration at Papa and Mamma's house.

My favorite part of the day at Mamma's was when Zora did us the honor of reading the Christmas story. She read a book called "The Very First Christmas". It was such a good story that incorporated the story of Jesus' birth. The pictures were beautiful too. Here's Zora reading us the story.

Our new little puppies have traveled with us to a couple of our celebrations. My little brother, Jake, fell in love with Rosey, and I think the feeling was mutual :-)

Here's Lily's Christmas happy face!

Zora's was so excited to get this doll. Her name is Lindsey and she treats the doll as if she's alive. It's way too cute.
We've still got one celebration left that was rescheduled for New Year's Day. This white Christmas was just a reminder that we can make all the plans that we want, but sometimes God has other plans in mind. Instead of the hustle & bustle as usual, the snow made us all slow down a little and spend some good quality time together!
