Christmas in February!?!

No, I am just that far behind in blogging.  I think it has taken me so long to post bc I know Christmas festivities and pictures can be quite lengthy and therefore, time consuming!  But here you go in a nutshell!

We had a great, but as most people super busy Christmas season.  Cecilia's last day of school was Monday the 17th.  Lily's birthday was Tuesday the 18th.  We left for Great Wolf Lodge the 19th.  We were there until the 21st.  Had our first "Christmas" with my family on the 22nd.  Christmas with my mom's side on the 23rd. Christian's family on the 24th and my dad's family on the 25th.  So that was a over a week of non-stop fun!!!  Our house was a wreck after it all since we were either out of town or going places and getting tons of "loot" and were pretty much only home to sleep!

 We ended up with lots of cute Christmas dresses, so this is
just after church one Sunday in December!

 This is a beautiful Janie and Jack dress that was probably
originally $80+ - got it at a yard sale last year for $4.50!


 Getting some baby bottles!

 If you remember, Cecilia LOVES soap! So my mom found 
some Minnie Mouse soap that is strawberry scented.
Cecilia loved it and best of all it was one of my favorite
household products brand - Method!
 Lily sitting on my Pyrex checking out the "Find It"
game we got Elijah.

Alexandra opening up her colored hairspray!

 Brendan and Cecilia getting help from Bess.

 Lily just being cute at the table.

 Papa getting Lily's "tickle spot."

 Being silly with Papa's hat and head gear - or whatever
it is called!

 Elijah in the air!

 Lily playing with her tea set Renee's family got her.

 Opening presents with Daddy.

 Icing cookies!

 A quiet snack with Grammy.

 All the Brady grand-girls!

 Lily getting help from Jenna and Jazmine opening
her birthday presents!

 Cecilia LOVED new baby Gavin.

 Lily liked checking him out too,
but kept her distance.

 Cecilia snuggled up with her new blanket and game.

 Snacks with Daddy.

 My little sweet pea!

 My big seet pea!

 Sprinkling (dumping) out the reindeer food.

 I thought she looked so cute in that hat, gown, and boots!

 Santa came!

 Cecilia loved her princess blanket with her name on it.

 Lily got Minnie Mouse.

 Lily's stuffie - Dash!

 Cecilia's stuffie - Digger!
This is ALL Cecilia wanted for Christmas this year.
She was soooo happy!

 Resting with their stuffies.

 And back at it...hitting their stockings.

 The blocks were a hit!

Singing Happy Birthday to baby Jesus!


And of course, I stopped taking pictures after that.  So I have none in their precious actual Christmas day dresses, and the rest of Christmas Day.  Oh well!  We had fun!
