Christmas 2013

We had a full, blessed, fun-filled Christmas season!  It started with the kids helping me decorate, and ended with lots of toys and great memories of time spent with family!

They loved the gum-drop tree- decorating and eating!

Cooper was Santa in the 1st grade Christmas musical!

singing his little heart out- quite the performer!

Cooper had his first piano recital- he played so well!

On a family "ice day" we all decorated a house in our gingerbread village

We took a trip to Nashville to celebrate my birthday and to do some fun Christmas stuff!  This was with Sis-Sis at Sunny Side lights in Brentwood...

and Santa at Sunny Side lights!

checking out two of Santa's reindeer at Cheekwood in Nashville

Telling Santa what they want for Christmas and then posing for a picture all while holding hands- melt my heart! So thankful they love each other!

my first year to attempt a "glowing tree" picture- got one good one on Christmas Eve before Cooper collapsed in the bed!

RA hung in there to put out cookies (that they made with Edie) and milk for Santa!

Santa came!  He brought baby Charlie's presents to our house, too!

Excited about one of his gifts from Santa!

Reese Ann and Caroline- her 1st American Girl doll!

And on to the Edwards Christmas- Edie and G-Chip with all three "grands!"

RA helping to show Charlie his new car and Coop trying to look like he is interested!

Closest thing we got to a family picture this year- will do better next year!
