Christmas season this year was packed. Between you know giving birth and all, church stuff, and our family coming to town it was busy, busy, busy. Let's recap:
Thanksgiving Day: Kathy and Steve arrive to make sure they are here for Olivia's arrival- turns out we had to wait a week and a day until she came!
November 30th: Olivia arrives
December 15th: Youth Progressive Dinner
December 22nd: my Family came to town
December 23rd: We went to my sister's house in Kingsland
Christmas Eve: church service and dinner
Christmas Day: enjoyed a relaxed day of opening presents, breakfast burritos, and resting with our family of 4 and Nana and Papa Stout
December 30th: Nana and Papa (Kathy and Steve) went back to TN
December 31st: Matt and the youth rang in the New Year at the church and I stayed home with the girls. It was sad to not be with Matt for midnight, but I got a lot done and enjoyed spending time with my sweet babies!
January 1st: We did very little and rested!
