christmas festivities

its the most wonderful time of the year!  i love, love, love christmas, and we've been busy celebrating the season!  here's what we've been up to:

 sunday school kiddos

 Jill, Andrew & Pastor Daniel

And on to our ladies christmas party I hosted.  Such a fun time!

 Love all of these gals. 

p.s. 3 ladies are due this month in this pic! 

 

yummy christmas treat zoe made at church.  its a ice cream cone, frosting, and candy.

both of the kiddos love to "vaccume" while i'm cleaning. 

 zoe's very messy room, that is very messy a lot.  we've been working on this. 

 i felt bad that i didn't put a small xmas tree in max's room like zoe has, so i slopped up xmas lights around his window.  white trash yes.  but he likes it.  :)

 i found max wearing his christmas pjs, zoe's hello kitty boots, and on top of the table in the playroom.  he was dancing and singing all by himself.  what a ham!

both kiddos love playing with the manger scene.  i remember loving playing with my mom's nativity scene when i was little.   

more dancing.

and last but not least.  one day i was cleaning and i caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. i'm wearing a kid's lego tee shirt, sweats that are too big (the most comfortable), and no make up/bed head.  i actually laughed at myself, and thought, whelp, this is me in my current "glory".  stay home mom, cleaner, cook, diaper changer, etc.  i had to share! :)
