Mia's Birthday/Christmas at the farm

Since Mia's Birthday is so close to Christmas, we celebrated her birthday at the farm. We were actually celebrating Christmas with Ryan's Dad's side of the family, but she didn't mind a bit. Plus her Nonny brought her cupcakes. Cupcakes make any day great,right? So we started out the morning with our traditional birthday breakfast. She had asked for a breakfast taco and cinnamon rolls. My sweet friend Danta had made us homemade Cinnamon rolls and so that is what we all ate for her birthday breakfast. Thank you Ms. Danta!

Here is the Birthday girl just waking up.

Make a wish!
Sweet girl!

Now for Christmas with Ryan's grandparents and family.

The kids always get completely spoiled.

Christmas Program

Eli and Mia were in their very first Christmas program at their Mother's Day Out. It was so adorable! Not only to see them on stage, but to hear them singing songs about our Savior's birth. Just being able to teach them the true meaning of Christmas was wonderful this year. And even more wonderful that they were able to learn from actually acting out the story. We are so blessed to have them in this program! It was such a fun day!

Here is Mia with her little friend Demye.

They sang Jingle Bells on stage!

Eli and his friend Duece.

Eli loves to sing!

They were wisemen.

Eli even got to do the prayer at the end of the program.

It was so sweet of course!

Here are our munchkins being silly on stage!

We are so blessed!

Mia Beth is 3!

Our sweet baby girl turned 3 in December. I cannot believe she is already this old. She seems like a baby in so many ways, but surprises us by what a big girl she is everyday! For her 3rd Birthday she had a Fancy Nancy Birthday party. Lots of her little friends came and it was lots of fun!

Here is the birthday girl before the party!

Christmas with Granny J

We did Christmas with Granny J early this year, because we wanted to do it while Tamra and Paul were in town. It was a fun time getting to visit with everyone.

Snow, snow, snow!

We had snow here in West Columbia! Wow! So exciting! The kids had a blast playing in it and then when it got too cold they admired it from inside. It snowed all day long! None of it stuck, but it was still fun to see. Thank you God for that sweet gift!

Eli enjoying the snow!

Daddy even came out of his office for awhile to play with us!

Miss Mia

Fun day!
