LIMO!

Who knew that the easiest and cheapest ride home on Christmas night would be in a LIMO!?! What an unexpected treat (though the girls were kind of freaked out that they couldn't see the driver's head....)

Christmas Morning!

Caroline and Macied getting a Christmas tickle, checking out the mess the reindeer made out of the carrots, and opening presents!!!

Leaving cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer!

And, dinner at Buddy and Brenda's - FUN!

Christmas Eve Service

Visiting Mike's mother's memorial, outside of St Peter St Paul's before service. Macie loved looking at "Victoria", knowing that's her middle name, too!

Caroline, Mike and Macie.

Playing with Sophia (and Bill and Amy!)

The Whytes came over the day before Christmas (with Chick-Fil-A!!!!) and we all went to play at the park.... Here's Bill and Mike and then lots of pictures of Sophie, Caroline, and Macie (who's hair was OUT of control!)

SANTA!!!!

The girls got a BIG surprise when Santa showed up at Mimi and Papa's house the day before Christmas to get their personal wish lists (a dog, a giraffe, a car.... it was endless!). It was so sweet! They asked him where his reindeer and sleigh were! But, he explained that he can't travel with them when it's daylight!

Smith Woodson Family Dinner

Melissa, Matt, Lindsay, Brock, Clint, Charlie, Carol, Caroline, Sarah, Macie, and Mike

Snowflakes with Lindsay

Lindsay is super-crafty and the girls loved "helping" her make a really big, beautiful 3D snowflake!

Playing with Mazie Ruth

It was so fun getting to see my best friend from kindergarten (at Cedar Hill!), Leah, her little girl, Mazie Ruth, her husband Dwight, and her belly getting ready to bring a little boy :) Here are some pics of everyone at the playground....

Dinner with my roomies!

Kristen and Shannon came over with their kiddos and hubbies for a great, crazy, fun dinner! Here's Kristen with Caroline (wearing K's boots!), all the kids (Macie, Caroline, Annabelle, Sam, and Owen), and the roomies (Kristen, Shannon, and me!). So fun!!!

Making Cookies for Santa with Mimi and Papa

Caroline and Macie, along with lots of help from Mimi and Papa, and tons of advice and sampling from Brock, Lindsay, Clint, mom and dad, made cookies for SANTA!!!! They had so much fun getting messy, decorating, and baking the cookies. What a great day!
