Our Christmas

Our first Christmas in Alabama...

Christmas crafts





Christmas cookies!




We started a new tradition this year.  Every night in December, before bed, we got together and read Christmas stories as a family.  On Christmas Eve we, of course, read Twas the Night Before Christmas

The kids in their Christmas pajamas.  
Lorelai: "I regret nothing"
Evelyn: "It's actually a funny story"
Scarlet: "I'm too cute for the naught list"
Joseph: "How much do you know already?"

Christmas cookies and a message to Santa, ready to go

And now, we wait...

And he came!



Joseph really wanted an aircraft carrier


Scarlet finally got her Barbie Dreamhouse



Both Lorelai and Evelyn got Gabb Watches for their big gift.  These watches are safe alternatives to phones.  They can make and receive calls only to numbers approved by me.  There's no internet, no games, no social media or anything.  It also has GPS tracking.  They are excited to be able to text and make calls.

Scarlet is in Barbie heaven

Evelyn asked for stilts, which, if you know Evelyn at all, may not be so unexpected.  She loves them and practices a lot!

The day after Christmas we saw our first Alabama snow!  We ended up with about 1/2 inch.
