Christmas Day

Christmas was absolutely magical! Santa went overboard as usual, but that's OK. We had a lovely morning at home then breakfast at Marme and Tim's then lunch at Jama's then home for a quick nap then dinner at Marme and Tim's. The day was very full, but very fantastic!

Santa brought each girl their own jar of Nutella:

Christmas Eve

We had a fantastic Christmas Eve in Vacherie. Momma Lady prepared a delicious lunch, the kids decorated ice cream snowmen, and everyone opened gifts. Then we went to Grandma's for her annual Christmas Eve Party.








Santa made a surprise visit while the kids were outside playing. Betsy was very excited:
Here is when she noticed the stockings were filled:

Playgroup Christmas Party

The entire Playgroup was able to get together at Andrea's house for a Christmas Party. Andrea is truly a saint for having FOURTEEN kids in her house. They were wild and crazy, but they had a great time. Sadie and Henry didn't want to be in the pic, but everyone else is in it.

Teddy Bear Tea at The Roosevelt

On the Monday before Christmas we went to the Teddy Bear Tea the Roosevelt. The lobby was beautiful as always. We sat with the Carville girls and Betsy's pal Evy and her Mom and grandmother. Betsy was so excited to see Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, the Toy Soldier, and the Winter Princess or Snow Princess or something like that. Sadie was a bit overwhelmed and just wanted to cling to me the whole time. The girls barely ate a thing, but they had fun running all around!

After the Tea we went home to rest then hit the Mall, and of course, the train.
This is what they did when I asked them to put their heads together for a photo:
