Twas The Night Before Christmas

It has been busy, busy, busy around here lately. Work has been hectic and there has been a lot going on at home. My In-loves got in town on Saturday with Izi to spend the holiday with us. Hubby's whole family was actually supposed to come but things happen and plans got changed :( We are having lots of fun with mummy, daddy, and Izi though. The kids took some Christmas pictures. The first one was with Santa at the mall of NorthWest Arkansas two Sundays ago. Demi behaved well (guess he was clueless), but MoMo wasn't having it. I was so upset but I had to realize yet again that the picture does not have to be perfect and the tears, fear in Santa's arm, awkward pose etc... is all part of the fun and memories.

They also got to take pictures with Santa at the Sam's Club Home Office. I don't think I have mentioned this yet, but hubby got a new job so is now with Sam's club. Yet another amazing testimony and some of the wonderful things God has been doing in our lives.

Hubby joined in on this one. I was busy at work and didn't even show up :( 

As you can tell, Mo was not feeling it... Ha!

This past Sunday we dedicated Demi back to God at church. We decided to do it since his grandparents would be in town, and we could have some family present. It was amazing! So grateful for our pastor!

On the left is our aunt. She has been taking care of the kids for us. I was so worried about putting Demi in daycare after my maternity leave and she came through for us almost at the last minute. The kids love her and I am more than thankful for her!

I love this pic!

Btw... Izi is missing out of these pictures because she made a new friend at church and went over to hang out. Lol

Also, our kids at church had their Christmas presentation too! I am one of the children's teachers and we practiced with them really ONLY 3 times, but they did so well! Uber proud of them!

Eva singing her "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" solo. Killed it!

Some fun photos at home...

Can't wait for tomorrow morning. There are many gifts for the kids to open, and I can't wait to see the excitement on their faces! Demi will be clueless of course and that's just okay. Lol. Christmas cards were mailed out yesterday. I sent them out late... I know, I know. I will be revealing our Christmas 2013 card tomorrow like I did last year, so come back to check it out!

Merry Christmas Eve!
