Memor, Fafa, and Aunt Ritz came to celebrate Christmas with us! And being the crazy festive people we are, we picked them up at the airport like this:
We went straight to our new house so they could see it. Walls weren't painted yet the color they are now. Memor and her new little sidekick.
We ate at Rudys, (picture is turned and I too lazy to go fix it)
saw some awesome Christmas lights,
Dave was on call and had to go in for an emergency and I got to go assist (in my church clothes),
cleaned up for church,
smashed in Austin's car seat so we could drive around and see more lights,
(worth being smashed)
saw a movie (Rise of the Guardians),
decorated gingerbread houses/trains,
(the girls...hearts)
(the boys...fire)
had our first annual Christmas Eve talent show (Joshua and Fafa did magic tricks),
(these lovely ladies played the hand bells)
(and then Austin wanted in on the fun)
and then Dave and I did our "Feats of Flexibility" act. I accidentally kicked him in the face. Whoops.
We had our nativity and Audrey made such a sweet Mary.
We started our new tradition of Christmas Eve sweat suits instead of pajamas.
and then read books with Auntie Ritz.
On Christmas morning, the excitement was palpable. Audrey read the letter from Santa,
and Austin could barely contain his excitement.
We did some Christmas dancing,
played in the snow,
and were so sad when Aunt Ritz had to leave Christmas night.
We had fun playing with Memor and Fafa the next day. Thanks for coming! We loved having you!
