Christmas 2013

This was the first Christmas that we've been home for Christmas Morning and I Loved it!  With Kensie being so little, we stayed home for the holidays and are creating more and more traditions of our own. 

The ballroom (our big empty formal dining room that we haven't decided what to do with yet) became our tree room. 

Our Christmas Eve tradition is to get new pajamas and this year, my mom made us all matching Jones' pajamas.  They're pretty awesome.

Christmas morning, we ended up having to wake Macy up after Syd and Kensie got up.  Tim's family has always gone through pictures on Christmas morning of Jesus's life and we lined our hall with similar pictures.  I love the thought of reminding ourselves of the reason of Christmas before opening presents.

Christmas day we spent with Jim and Rosalyn at their house talking to Sarah and putting together the girl's new teeter totter...

hanging out with Matt and Becca for a little while...

and finally getting to play on their new toy.

I really should have gotten a picture but Macy spent most of her day fishing with her fishing pole that Santa brought her.  She has been talking about it for months and months and Santa was a bit suspicious about it but brought it anyway.  Macy was in heaven and loves to practice her fishing down the stairs or hallways and is an amazing caster.
