Christmas Eve Jammies and Books with the Girls

This is my favorite--cozy, special time with just the five of us.

Christmas Eve Eve with the Days

We invited family up to Midland to have a lasagna feast and start a new tradition--it was a hit! We played "find the Baby Jesus" and had a white elephant gift exchange. LOVED it!!

The Santa House

This year, we decided to beat the rush by taking her out of school to see Santa...IT WORKED! New tradition, for sure!!

We also made it back in time for her class Christmas party! :)

Maryn's 17th Bday

This girl! We sure love her lots!

Nativity Exhibit 2017

One of my favorite traditions every year...the NATIVITY!! This year I decided to do something extra special and post a picture of one of my nativities on social media every day leading up until Christmas starting on Dec. 1. It definitely brought a special spirit to my season and helped me remember the real reason for the season.

Dow High Fall Production of Alice in Wonderland

The girls are both involved with Dow High's theater program and Thespian society. This year's fall play was Alice in Wonderland. They both did an amazing job--so proud of them!!
