Merry Christmas 2017

HO HO HO!  The kids are ready to race down to the tree.  But alas, they know the drill.  No one allowed downstairs until Ryan goes down and turns on the Christmas lights and music.  Waiting can sure be tough!

This is our first Christmas in our new home!  I have loved decorating for Christmas and I love how my new house is turning out.  

After we did our family Christmas we headed over to Jenni's for round 2.  The Angels Camp house is under construction currently for the attic bedroom.  We decided this would be easier.  And I have to say, I loved having it at home.  It made Christmas so much easier! But I do love Camelot too.....

Nativity 2017

Our annual live nativity happened this week.  This year it was at the Serpa's farm and we used lanterns.  It was quite magical.  (Too bad the iphones don't do as well taking pictures in the dark.)

Don't ask me why Dexton is dressed as a hippo.  Someone brought the costume thinking it would be hilarious and of course Dexton thought it looked just right for him.  And after that there was no talking him out of it....

Christmas Prep

Sugar cookies and Christmas? Yes, please!  Trying to get these sugar cookies made has been very tricky with all the activities going on.  But finally I just said enough is enough and here we are!

There is not much I love more than a good sugar cookie with frosting.  Yum!

If you can't tell, we are getting ready for Christmas, Dexton loves our nativity.  We are trying to teach how to be gentle with the nativity....

Shayli participated in her 1st grade singing performance today and you'd better believe we were there to cheer her on!

The Cafferty's were generous enough to give the whole Reese clan tickets to Aladdin.  We went to the Orpheum theater and loved every minute of it.  The costumes and special effects were spectacular!
