Christmas Recap

One happy girl getting ready for her first big Christmas Eve!

Here are all the ladies just after church on Christmas Eve.

Here is Tizita in a new shirt. She is wearing a second new shirt on her head! Silly girl. She had so much fun opening her gifts and helping all of us open ours.

Here are the lovely ladies in their new Pajamas from Gigi. Tizita's have her name on the butt. Too cute!

Ever since we have been young, my dad started the tradition of taking our picture as we came into the living room and saw the gifts for the first time on Christmas morning. We have kept up this tradition and every year no matter where we lived we took a picture of the girls that morning looking into the room at their gifts for the first time. Here are the five of them coming into the living room through the very same archway that my brother and I entered for so many years! They are sporting their new pj's, also a Christmas tradition.

One of our traditions is Christmas Day brunch which always includes making donut holes. Here are Alissa, Mallory, and Tizita rolling the dough into little balls. Tizita was a big helper.

Our final celebration was at John's parents house in New Berlin. It was the first time that they had met Tizita so it was a very special Christmas for them. She stole their hearts as she does to everyone who meets her. Here she is having fun rolling a sausage.

It was a most memorable and wonderful Christmas all around!
