Christmas 2013

Merry, Merry Christmas little Savages!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve brunch with our friends the Smarts. So, so glad we have them here.

It's a great way to start off our festivities.  After brunch we headed to a movie, me and Finley spent most of our good time in the car talking about life.

My favorite part was our evening. We did our own little family special candle light dinner.

Watched a movie on the Nativity, shared letters with our kids about the past year and shared the things we appreciated about 2013. I think are kids are getting old enough to really get 

into our Christmas Eves.

Snow Day!

It was perfect, the last day of school before winter break and school got

canceled due to the "huge"snow storm. The kids were beyond stoked for the 1/4 inch

snow fall.  Live it up kiddies.

I have the coolest friend, her name is Kelly, she loves my kids and
it makes me soooo happy. This is her daughter Tate. Some days they
come and take my kids on adventures just to give me a little  personal time.
I'm not sure why they are so good to me but I am always grateful for the way they serve our
family. I hope I can be like them someday.

Ginger bread house decorating time.  I love how these houses 

come pre built...it's a sweet gig right?!

Finley checking out the hard work.

I was the icing chick...it's a very important job.

I love how the girls sleep intertwined. So comfy.
