Christmas 2013

Christmas 2013 was a Texas Christmas. It was nice to stay home and to have the kids prepare for Santa in their own home. We made plenty of Christmas cookies, decorated Ginger bread houses and did some special baking for Santa. We took the kids to mass on Christmas eve and watched the nativity play St Martha's did with the students at the school. Riley was very excited Christmas morning and really enjoyed opening the presents. She actually opened everyone's presents because she liked it that much! Riley and Carter got plenty of fun toys. The big presents were a trampoline, a workbench, a train set, dress up clothes and disney princess dolls. The kids were overwhelmed and did not know what to play with! On Christmas Day we had some friends over to celebrate with us and let the kids play with all the new toys. Overall Christmas was a huge success! Here are some photos:
