family: christmas 2014

We had a wonderful Christmas and we hope you did too! We learned more about the birth of our Savior, ate tons of yummy food, and spent lots of time with family! Julianna got sick during all the fun but we made the best of it anyways. Here is a recap of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...

watching their videos from the North Pole.

checking on the cookies for Santa that they just put in the oven.

candlelight Christmas Eve service before going to my mom's for our traditional meal and gift exchange.

getting cookies + egg nog ready for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.

time for bed for these excited little girls.

the stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

Santa came! Santa brings an unwrapped gift to each of the girl's. Julianna asked for a bike and Olivia asked for things to take care of her babies with. Santa did good.

starbucks cup excitement.

a tiara for our princess.

he loves his under armour hoodie!

an Olivia book for Olivia. later than afternoon Josh took Olivia to his family's Christmas Day get together. Julianna and I stayed home in our Christmas jammies to nurse her back to health. she's thankfully finally feeling better today.

my Christmas goodies. Josh always does such a wonderful job picking out items for me. he is a smart man and stalks my Pinterest account for ideas.

the sweetest gift of all are these Kate Spade inspired earrings that he made! he saw the real thing on my Pinterest but decided he could DIY a pair himself. so he took a pair of cheap Wal-Mart earrings, a little super glue and glitter, and done! I love them and his thoughtfulness! he's a keeper.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family to yours!
