Bailey's 9th Christmas

Lots of great pictures of Bailey throughout the Christmas holiday. Here are some of my favorites.





The children's Christmas program ended with a Christian version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Bailey got to raise her card a lot since it was 2 candles burning.

Bailey helps decorate the tree.

Holidays With The Family

It was so wonderful to have the family together again for both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. I'm a traditionalist so one of the most special parts of the holiday season is preserving those memories that I've been doing since I was little. The whole family was able to make the trip to Wapsie Pines again this year to find a real Christmas tree. Thanksgiving and Christmas basically consisted of eating, relaxing and enjoying the kids. Here are some highlights from the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday.
