Leading up to Christmas..

This year we kept our usual traditions. We went to the same place to get our tree. The merry go round has always been a big hit

 We have our annual cookie decorating...

We went to Charlotte to see Evie in her preschool Christmas pageant. Such a sweet little angel!

Evie, Beth, Abbey, Elijah and I went to see the Nutcracker! Waverly and Layne were supposed to be with us, but Layne got a stomach bug.

 So, as a make up time. Layne and Waverly came and spent the night. We did Christmas crafts and made cookies.

 Christmas Eve brought Daniel and John to join us for the usual festivities....

 Piggin out!!

 Walking around to see the luminaries.
