Christmas at Mom's

We had another fun day of Christmas "togetherness" at my Mom's house on Saturday. Cayce and her family and Mom and Greg along with the four of us had fun opening gifts, eating, and being together. Mom gave the girls a Wii which we have ALL had fun playing and I gave mother a recipe collection that I put together of my grandmother's recipes. Mom loved it! Cayce and Jason gave Nathan and I a beautiful framed print of our personalized wedding vows. It was the most precious gift I received this Christmas. I am so thankful for my family more this year than any other year of my life. I love all of you!

Christmas with the Snyders

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with Nathan's family! We attended a Christmas Eve service at our church and the girls loved holding their candles and singing Silent Night. It even "snowed" during the service thanks to the snow machines in the auditorium! Nathan's grandparents, parents, uncle and cousin all came to our house to exchange gifts, spend time together, and wait for Santa to come! I think it was our best Christmas ever!

Christmas at Dad's

The girls had a ball seeing their cousins and exchanging gift at Pop-Pop and Nan's house. Nate won the mystery gift game (it was a fake security camera) and won the $20 prize! We love you Pop-Pop and Nan.

Christmas Parties and Programs

Claire enjoyed her winter classroom party with her buddies at Kindergarten. We played winter bingo, a dress-up snowman game, decorated cookies and read stories! Camdyn participated in her preschool's Christmas program and sang carols while the older children reenacted the Christmas story.

Family Photo Shoot

We had pictures taken this month of our entire family. This was the first time we all participated in a family photo shoot. I love the pictures we got and can't wait to share them as gifts with friends and family this Christmas!

Our two girls

I'm getting the hang of this blogging thing and think it will be a healthier alternative for me from Facebook. The pictures below are of Claire - age 5 and Camdyn - age 4. Both girls are getting so excited for Christmas!!! I am going to post some other pictures from Christmastime events this month in order to "catch up" a little and get ready for blogging more regularly in 2009.
