Pre Christmas festivities!

We had a very busy December this year.... I wonder why? Sarah had the most exciting Christmas season of her young life. Santa, reindeer, etc. really came to life for her this year. We spent many nights decorating the house (her new favorite past time), making ornaments, Christmas cookies and watching a multitude of holiday movies and cartoons. (I must admit, I love them as much as she does :) Here are some of the highlights of the first part of the month.


Just an example of our crafty pursuits at home with the girls. Sarah wore this face paint all day! We had a hard time cleaning off the purple nose. What fun!

Sarah is getting pretty good with the camera, she actually took these photos!
Other than cutting the top of Jason's head off in this photo, I think it was a success! Check out Alena's expression. Our double flash gets her every time!

Ashley and Sarah hung out in the kitchen making cinnamon/applesauce ornaments. We made many more before the month was through!

Our little one is now smiling at us (we couldn't wait for this development) Isn't she a cutie?


The three McReynolds cousins

Two out of three smiles ain't bad!



Alena is the happiest baby.
Sarah's Christmas play kicked off at "My School" around the middle of the month. They sang Santa Clause is coming to town...Sarah sang to the top of her lungs. Her version was slightly different than the teacher's, which made for a pretty funny concert!

Aren't they Cute in their Christmas duds?




Sarah's stage fright is a thing of the past.

Now for the main event, a visit from Santa! Maura went first...
And then Sarah. She was definitely awestruck this year.
Leah even got in on all the fun!
I must say, this has been a wonderful year of parenting. Sarah has grown up so much. I absolutely loved seeing Christmas through her eyes this year.
