December

December has come and gone.

Quickly.

But we sure did have a fun filled month.

There were lots of tired kiddos, from getting sick and not sleeping well at night, so naps were welcome.

Girl days, toys presents, good food, family fun, crazy warm weather meant lots of outdoors time.

The Nutcracker.

Mackenzie got to experience her first Ballet, The Nutcracker.  She got a new fancy dress and purse and got to go to dinner with grandma and mom before the Ballet.  It started later than her her normal bed time so to see her fall asleep with 30 minutes left, was no surprise.  But she still had fun!

The day after the Nutcracker, I had my anatomy scan for the baby, and guess what, we FINALLY are able to give Mackenzie that sister she always wanted!  We are all beyond excited and not quite sure what to do with a baby girl:) But little is sure already loved!

Christmas.

 Christmas this year was very low key and quite.  We only give our kids one gift and a book and actually make them give up a gift.  And to our surprise, they were BEYOND thrilled with their gifts this year and that makes a mama happy!

We went to Texas Roadhouse for Christmas Eve dinner, it never disappoints.

Edward worked Christmas so gifts weren't opened till the evening.  The kids and I spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's playing and resting and soaking up all our time with them before they left for their next cruise adventure to South America:)

This year has been a great year, with overall good health and happiness and I am so very grateful for all the things we have been blessed with.

Here's to more goodness in 2015!
