One December afternoon, Brielle and I had the privilege of joining Brynna's class to help make gingerbread houses. Brielle mostly licked icing from a spoon and watched the other kids.
The girls had planned a night to go caroling, and they did not let the bitter cold, windy evening stop them! We visited our neighbors Sally and Jeff. (Sally also happens to be Alex's assistant at work.)
That same evening, Brynna's dance school had their annual performance at a local nursing home. Here are some of the girls in Brynna's class. (BTW- Brielle never complains about wearing tights because when I get them out, she says, "like Bwynna's dance cwass!" She loves being like her big sisters!)
Friday before Christmas, Alex's brother and his fiance' had just made it home from Chicago so we had Alex's family over for dinner. Braylee read the kids "The Night Before Christmas."
We spent the next day at Gramma & Pappy's house celebrating together. I am so thankful for these little cousins who have the most fun together! Adam & Tristen are getting married next December so we are hoping it won't be too long until more grandbabies join the family!

Braylee "passes out" when she is just too excited! ;)
She was happy about getting Just Dance 4 from Gramma! |

Mandi has our big family picture on her camera so I will have to add it soon. We had a wonderful day and a Christmas miracle- all of the kids were healthy!!
