Christmas 2015 Recap

December was a bittersweet month for us. It started off very emotional with extra house guests for over a week. Our adorable granddaughter and her sweet momma.

Then it was the mad/busy rush to Christmas break that involved teacher gifts, parties and kids hyped up on candy canes!

Then came the laziness leading up to Christmas Eve.

Creative thinking

An early Christmas gift from Nai Nai & Ye Ye (Aaron's parents)

Finally Christmas Eve arrived. Aaron and I volunteered to set up the cafe at church both days that we had services. We enjoyed the message, had a great dinner at a local Mexican restaurant and we were ready to slow things down.

Christmas arrived and our boys were thrilled with their gifts! We scaled it way back this year. They got new bikes, clothes and nerf weapons. Things that got them out of the house and things they needed.

We enjoyed a yummy meal as a family

It was a very laid back end to a busy month. God loved us through it all and we are so thankful of the greatest gift, the birth of His son Jesus!

Blessings,

Tracey

Christmas was...

Not very Merry in our house. It started out great. We had a great meal, attended our church's Christmas Eve service, youngest 2 were tucked into their beds, presents were put under the tree, cookies made. Aaron & I were settling into our bed when it happened! We were hit hard by the stomach flu! It attacked the oldest 2 first hard & then tried to take down Aaron, but failed. I spent all of that night & Christmas Day taking care of the oldest 2 & keeping the youngest 2 entertained and away from everyone else. 

We survived & everyone is on the road to recovery. Here are a few pictures...not many, but a few. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas & be safe this New Years Eve!

Blessings, Tracey
