Hi friends!
After I laid Clara down in her bassinet last night, I sat down on the couch (finally!) and looked at our Christmas tree and thought “how in the world is it December 22nd already?!?!” I also thought “I seriously can’t wait! I hope these next three days fly by!”
On to the photos!

Anna and I began our baking extravaganza yesterday. We made PW’s cinnamon rolls for our neighbors. Next up: cookies and tea ring!

Our sweet stockings for our sweetest babies.

and Merry Christmas from our house to yours! (family photo courtesy of Lauren Alexis Photography!)

Merry Christmas Beth to you and your beautiful family. I love the snowman ornament on your tree. Snowman decorations are my fav for my house at Christmas time. I feel the same way. How can it already be just 2 days till Christmas. I too, LOVE your Christmas card. It is so bright and refreshing. Such a cute idea to all wear hats. Such a special Christmas it will be for you, Brian and the kids to celebrate Clara’s first Christmas. Enjoy it all. I wish your family the very best for 2012.
oh the festivities!! so much fun!
Gorgeous card! I love your hair darker. Your family is so beautiful. I have been reading/ lurking/ rooting for you for YEARS and even after you lost your twins I was struck by the hope you had. I see such happiness in your photos, you manage to capture such joy. You deserve it!! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a great 2012.
Such beautiful photos – hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas X
