Merry Christmas!

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! I hope everyone is having a great holiday so far. We're wrapping things up here, getting ready for my family to come over tomorrow and for church tonight. I thought I'd post up a some pics and a short video before Christmas. :) First, we had Autumn's Christmas program last week. SO CUTE. At the end of this post, I'll put up the kids singing "Happy Birthday, Jesus." You'll be able to see Autumn in the bottom right from time to time but, really, it's just so darn cute that if you aren't in the Christmas spirit, this will get you there! I've got a couple of shots from that, too. This is day one:


and day 2 where she was a little more visible:


I'm still sick some but I've been feeling good enough that with lots of help from Cherie, my mom, and Lainey and Mike, I've been able to get the house in good shape and all decorated for Christmas. One fun thing is that Autumn is now the proud owner of her Aunt Lauren's pink Christmas tree!


Such a big girl now! We ended up doing our gifts to each other and our stocking stuffers this morning (I got Mike a coffee sampler and he got me a bluetooth earpiece, yay!). We didn't get Autumn much because she has approximately 204849058 family members so we figure she's in good shape, hahaha. I hit the jackpot, though, on my gifts. I got her a Leo from Little Einstiens plush doll. Leo is her imaginary friend, too, so I thought she might like to have him around in person sometimes. :P


They have already started their adventures...they camped in the kitchen, pretended to nap in the dining room, played in the pillow cave on mama and papa's bed, and now they are about to be woken to go to church together.


I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas. I leave you with this video...special thanks to Aunt Penny for braving the crowd and sitting down front to record.
