My cousin Kelly was married a week and a half before Christmas, so my mother came out early and hung out with us for the week. It was a lot of Gymbox and shopping. There was some experimenting with feather earrings (turned out fabulous), YW activities, neighbor gifts (we handed out don’t eat pete, caroler edition), work treats (spiced nuts), lots of doughnuts, and playing… It sure was a busy, but not busy week…
It only too Elena 5 days to get use to my mom…
Jason’s tooth hung on for dear life. It was like this for about 5 days!
My mom and I were trying to teach Sierra how to pose. This is the best that we could get.
She really needs to work on smiling for the camera. P.S. She asked for curly hair. So cute!
We did prep the kids this year for Christmas Eve gifts. They knew that PJ’s were coming first…
Elena got a little help from everyone 
And yes my kids decided that they were not going to wear shirts this evening. 
Colton took a flight to CA EARLY Christmas morning, so he opened his presents a little early…
Can you find Will 
It was a great Christmas Eve.
Now on to normal life for us. Busy, busy, busy.

That is such a sweet pic of your mom and Elena. And I love Sierra’s hair in curls. Looks like it was a nice Christmas week/eve.

Wow Check out those curls! So cute! Did you use a straightener or a curling iron? How many teeth has Jason lost so far? Glad Elena warmed up to mom.
Those presents for Colton were perfect!

Awesome eagle’s head!
It was a great almost two weeks of vacation, thanks for letting me hang out.

Do you really think Sierra needs to work on smiling for the camera? Looks like she’s got it down to me!

Will’s face makes me giggle in the mirror. Looks like you all had fun!
