Christmastime 2013


Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd do a post on Christmas! We did a lot of fun things this December:

December 10- We got 2 or 3 inches of snow and Esther helped me make this giant snowball. It was heavy!
December 10- This thing must have weighed over 100 pounds!
December 14- Decorating the Christmas tree! By the way, that's not an ornament Esther's eating.
December 15- Christmas decorating- I didn't even know they made wreathes for your neck! It certainly wasn't the most comfortable thing I've ever worn.
December 16- My home school group had a Christmas party and afterwards some of the kids and I sang Christmas songs for the parents.
December 21- My aunt and her family came up here from North Carolina and we had a family Christmas party at my Grandpa's place. From left to right: my dad, Grandpa, Aunt Mary, and Aunt Jean.
December 21- From left to right: My cousin Maaza, Esther, my dad, Grandpa, Aunt Mary, my cousin Libbie, me, Aunt Jean, my cousins Scott and Alex, and Uncle R.L. 


Christmas Eve
After one of our favorite dinners (hamburger and potatoes), we got to open some early presents:
Gifts from our friends down in Texas -perfume and Nancy Drew books!
Gifts from friends- including candy and hot cocoa mix! 
Gifts from our parents including candy, movies, and nailpolish.

Christmas Day
We had Christmas by ourselves this year since our friends were all with their families.



Christmas morning! This is Esther and I right before we started opening presents. Google automatically added the sparkles on the windows for some reason...

A hat and scarf set Esther crocheted, which seems a little small on me. The sparkles on the tree were also automatically added by Google.
Gifts from my parents, including movies and makeup!
I made this earring holder for Esther since she got her ears pierced recently and she's been getting lots of earrings!
Buffy enjoyed the tissue paper more than the gifts!
Lots of good movies!

Merry Christmas everyone!
