december was probably the craziest month out of the entire year for us this year! it was nuts! having riggins two weeks early and so close to the holidays i just felt so unprepared for everything. we still managed to have quite a bit of fun and family time though.
rhett and the girls built a snowman!
my mountain man went and cut this down with girls in the middle of nowhere while riggs and i cuddled in the warm pickup! it was twice that size! rhett had to basically cut the tree in half to get it in the house. and it is touching the ceiling. haha.
the girls favorite thing about any holiday is DECORATING!
riggins LOVED the christmas lights. if i wasn't holding him he was under the tree staring at the lights.
pretty sure we were kind of obsessed with our tree this year. we read books, colored, and played under that tree all month long.
i wasn't even close to getting my christmas shopping done when i had riggins. so here he is only about a week old shopping with us. haha.
we decided to try christmas out all by ourselves this year. and when i say that i mean we weren't at anybody else's house over night for christmas, we still had quite a bit of family time which was PERFECT!
christmas eve we woke up and made yummy pancakes!
then we headed out to broulims to sing christmas carols with the ricks'. it was so cute to hear those little ones sing!
then for christmas eve dinner we headed off to grandma warrens. i'm kind of sad i didn't get more pictures! i actually had to steal this one from one of the cousins.
santa came!
after presents were open and we rested for while we headed to burley to have christmas dinner with my dad and family. i didn't get many pictures there either.
this one is of jaxyn and riggs playing with jaxyns new truck. i can't believe riggins used to fit in that thing!
we made a gingerbread house earlier in the month. we had to get a picture with it before it got tossed.
yummy! ha
after christmas we headed back to the mall to do some christmas returns.
silly girls.
christmas really was special this year. i loved having it in our own home this year but still getting to see family. it was pretty great.
christmas was also so magical this year with our new little boy. the spirit he brought into our home was something i don't think any of us will ever forget.
