Christmas Eve 2014

We have had a busy couple of weeks.  Honestly, Christmas feels like it was months ago!!  When I sat down to blog about our latest adventures, I realized I had never posted about it.  So...here goes:

Christmas Eve was spent with my family, opening gifts and enjoying some seafood gumbo.  I am just going through all of these pics today and see that I did a pretty poor job documenting our holiday this year.  I frustrate myself when I do that.  There is just so much going on at once, it's hard to catch everything.  Unfortunately, my boys are who seem to be left out :(

My parents with most of the grandkids.  I have a brother whose family lives in Colorado and they were not here.  Between Joel and I, we have 9 kiddos!!!

Leaving cookies for Santa.

Christmas Eve

After church Christmas Eve, we went to my parents for some seafood gumbo.  Yum!!  

The kiddos open their stockings from MawMaw and PawPaw

The girls and their "sisters" ornament :)

 More hairstyling....

Cookies for Santa!

Trying my hardest to get through all these posts!!  In between blogging, I've been taking down the Christmas tree.  I get to the point that I'm just ready for it all to be over!  Ready to have my house back :)

Christmas Eve

We had a quiet Christmas Eve at my parents. Richard stayed at home in bed all night, so it was just the me and the kids.



We left Santa some cookies and cupcakes, and off to bed.

Rich didn't get out of the bed all night, so it made for a strange night for me. Thankfully, Santa didn't bring any supersized presents!! :)
