Christmas Joy (and Chaos!)

Our Christmas was truly filled with so much joy and utter chaos!  I am so thankful for these pictures to remember the days that seemed to zip by in such a crazy fashion that I wasn't remembering much!

Xmas warm-up - Wortham Center tree lightening - me and KK with the Sugar Plum Fairy!

 Lots of playroom time - BUILDING!!  This is our boy who loves to construct!

 Park play - NEVER ENOUGH!!  This playdate was a picnic playdate with friends!

 Followed by tons of play!

 The way these two play with each other is magical, just magical!!  Love them more than words can express!

Moving onto breakfast with Santa at the Houston Aquarium!

Kids loved their visit with silly Auntie Cristin!  (And I believe she was quite wiped when she left!)

 Ms. K - The fabulous thing about this lady is she is ALL girl...

 ...but cannot deny she has three bothers and can jump right into the tackles...

 ..and football play!

Cade-o loved building a fort with the boxes delivered!

 Such a SWEET one - our deep-thinking independent one!

And playing dress up with some funny props sent by Grandma Susan.

Time for some Christmas Eve Santa and Reindeer pizza making - where else, but on the floor!!  Yes with four little helpers, the best place to do it!

Santa!

 Reindeer!

 And where is a better place to enjoy it but out front on a warm day for a picnic!

And our very appropriate Xmas eve service church attire - LOL!!!  So exhausted!!!

Christmas Morning - FUN!!!!

 And some more outside fun enjoying our toys!

 Post Christmas trip to the Zoo!

 Full, exhausting, and indescribably blessed - such a GIFT to look back on the pictures of this past season and remember the true gifts....four beautiful, healthy, vibrant, energetic ones - we will miss these days SO SOON!  I need to savor - in 2016 hoping to be more PRESENT!!  Much love to you all!
