Ten Children Make a Very Fun Christmas

We spent the entire last week together with Forrest's side of the family. Our time wasn't spent doing anything spectacular just being together! We had our big Christmas get together Thursday night and there were 24 people there! It was a house full for sure. On Christmas Eve we went to Granny Jenny's and Christmas Day we got up and went to Ninny & Pa's. After a very full week, I was glad to get back to our daily routine.

Here are some highlights from the week! Enjoy!

These two are quite a duo!

I don't know who loves who more!

We love our little nephew!

Our baby hung in there with the rest of the kids like a champ

Deck the Halls

By the time this weekend arrived, we were done decorating the house. It was a nice relaxing time for me. The presents are all wrapped and the only thing I have left to do is the holiday baking! I spent the whole day Saturday looking through cookbooks and watching movies. Another plus is that Forrest worked from home so it was nice to have him with me.

Enjoy some of our Christmas Decor!

My favorite this year

The bowl is filled with cinnamon pine cones and fresh Christmas tree sprigs! mmm....

This was just too pretty not to pass up.

I took clippings from the real tree and filled the house with them. It smelled so good!

The holding station for our out of town presents and White Elephants : )
