Christmas 2013

We spent Christmas morning with my mom, step-dad, and two brothers.  There weren't a lot of people but it was perfect for my girls.  Naomi was the first one up and we enjoyed some cuddles before the festivities began.  





Mia wasn't happy that I accidentally forgot our stockings at home.  Luckily, Grandma had stockings for everyone.



Naomi loved opening presents.






Mia didn't want to wear her Christmas jammies or pose in a pictures...two battles I didn't feel like fighting so Naomi got some solo pictures this year!

After we opened presents at my moms, we went to my Aunt and Uncle's for more presents, more family, and a gourmet Christmas dinner.



Isn't my nephew, Ryder, the cutest?!?

 




My littlest cousin, Norwood.


This was the Christmas with adorable babies.  Norwood and my nephew, Ryder.

After several Christmas parties, my girls were a bit of a wreck on Christmas day.  We left the party around 6:30 and the girls passed out on the way home.

I hope everyone has recovered from their Holiday fun!  The girls and I are still in MN and will be here until Jan. 5.  

Merry Christmas!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Christmas festivities have been in full force here at the Jones house.  We decorated our Christmas tree before Thanksgiving since we will be leaving for MN on Dec. 18.  Mia really got into decorating this year and put majority of the ornaments on the tree and placed things all over the house. I really love that my tree has a clump of ornaments on the bottom.




On December 1st, Jack, (our Elf on the Shelf) came back to visit. Just like last year, we had a special breakfast and he brought Christmas pajamas for the girls.  He also wrapped our Christmas books.  The girls have really enjoyed taking turns opening the books each morning.









I just love how "real life" this picture is.




Some cute photos from our Christmas photo shoot…





And, some outtakes...



As if the Christmas dress wasn't fancy enough, Mia had to wear a tutu underneath.

I hope you are enjoying this Holiday Season!!
