Christmas 2012

Candy cane reindeer and yarn balls made my Christmas a little brighter this year. Aren't they precious!

My Christmas celebrations started on Wednesday the 19th with my classroom's Christmas party followed by our Bible Study's Christmas party.

Thursday was Polar Express day at school...

..followed by AR's dance class Christmas party.

{AR was very overwhelmed with all of the parents in the room watching}

On Saturday we had our first family Christmas party of the year. Westin and AR played with their cousins and loved on their Nana and Poppa!

After wrapping up all of my Christmas shopping on Saturday night, I did all of my wrapping on Sunday night after everyone went to bed.

On Christmas Eve we had our Christmas gathering at Granny's. 

After we left Granny's we went right over to Nana and Poppa's.

Even though we got home late on Christmas Eve, we still made sure to get the milk and cookies out for Santa...

..and thankfully Santa's drop off was well before midnight!

Christmas morning...

{We had 3 stops on Christmas day and as the day progressed the fewer pictures I took.}

First stop: Breakfast at Pop's and JiJi's

Second stop: Lunch at The Godwin's

Third Stop: Dinner at Memaw's

My last Christmas celebration was on Thursday the 27th! My high school girlfriends {and now a few other friends} get together every year for food, fun, and Dirty Santa! 

Good times!

Merry Christmas
