Monthly Update December

December felt like a long month! Between celebrating Eden and Everly's birthdays, having Aunt Di visit, hosting Christmas and getting ready for our move in a few weeks we were busy! 

Aunt Di visited us in early December, and we had a great time all together! Before she arrived we got the house all ready for the holidays!







We made Christmas cookies







Our elf "Jennie" brought us lots of laughs and fun.

Jennie brought the girls a felt Christmas tree







We visited with Santa Claus, and the girls brought him their lists. 

Tim and I went to Peachtree Orthopedic Clinic's annual partners' Christmas party. We had a great date night! 

Then it was time to celebrate Eden and Everly's 3rd birthday! First Jennie, our elf, brought a birthday banner and some gifts! 
 Then it was off to Babyland General Hospital with the Hornsby Family to pick out their very own Cabbage Patch dolls. 






 Then it was off to the local Burger King in Cleveland, GA for lunch and cake! 


 Then it was back home to open some gifts!

Eden and Everly had their Christmas concert at preschool. It was precious! Ellasen even got to go because she was already out of school for the holiday break. 





Then it was time for Grandma to come for Christmas! First we made cookies for Santa.



Then we drove around to look at the Christmas lights. 


 Then we put out reindeer food! 

 Then Grandma read "Twas the Night Before Christmas".
 Then it was time for the grownups to enjoy some hot toddy's! 
 Then Santa came!!





 Christmas morning was amazing! 

 I cooked a prime rib and all the sides, and we all enjoyed a beautiful meal!


Here are some random pictures from the month.
