Christmas Recap Part 1

I'm a little late doing our Christmas Recap but it just got so busy with all the Snowpocalypse of 2012 that I just haven't had the time.  Plus Christmas cleanup, yard cleanup (we had several large branches out of trees that fell but we were lucky not to lose any whole trees), laundry, going back to work, fitting in time with my hubby and baby and I just plain didn't have or make time!

We started our Christmas celebrations on Christmas Eve with Birc's family! We went to church at St. James, came home and ate a fabulous dinner, then read the Christmas story and put out cookies and milk for Santa.  Savannah had a great time with her cousins Anna and Aiden and just wanted to do everything they were doing! She also loves to play with Bon Jovi the poodle when she's at Nana and Gran's house so we did that too.  [some of the pics below are from the 23rd as well but I just had to include them because they were so cute!] We came back over the next morning to see what Santa had brought us all and had a wonderful time being with each other and eating, and Ann's brunch was tasty as usual! Around 2:00 we packed the car and headed to Searcy to celebrate with my family!

We went home to sleep in our own beds since Savannah had a cold and this is how I found her the next morning on Christmas day right before I woke her up! ADORABLE booty in the air!

Cousins! Such a great pic!

I'll catch up with the Patterson part 2 tomorrow!
