Christmas 2013

Ava really enjoyed getting the tree and our other Christmas decor set up as we kicked off this month:

 

 

In Ryan's family there was always a rotation of which kid got to put the star on top of the tree throughout their growing up years. So we've continued that tradition with our kids and it was fun that Rhett got to rotate in this year:

 

Ava looked forward all month to her Christmas program at church. She asked me today when Christmas comes back next year if she can do the program again. We sang the songs before bed each night. I love getting to capture her seeing us in the crowd. Here she is "sleeping in heavenly peace":

 

For Christmas Eve and day we headed to B.A.

Ryan and I got to sneak away with Ava for a Christmas Eve movie to see Frozen in 3-D:

 

 

Of course one of the most memorable parts of this year, was that it was Rhett's first Christmas!

 

We headed back to OKC and this weekend we hosted Bell family Christmas at our house. Unfortunately my mom got sick and wasn't able to join all of us so was sad that she couldn't come with dad but besides that it was a good Christmas.

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed a family devotional time together Sunday morning. Ava was really into it, She is also really into dressing herself these days:

 

The cousins all together. We have two more due this summer,

so this bunch continues to grow and has lots of fun holidays together to come!

 

Rhett's crossing his fingers for a boy cousin in 2014. He's a bit out numbered among this crew.
