The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Part 2)

Alexia picked this dress out herself

she seriously wanted to wear it every single day over the holidays.

It was an enjoyable experience for all of us!

I did not realize we had so many great times to share from the Holiday season!  We will probably have one more post, possibly two for The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

  We had a great time with Daddy's side of the family at the Parrack family get together!  The kids played with their cousins, even Briana enjoyed playing with her cousins (amazing for a group of 1 and 2 year olds)!  We also enjoyed family time with Mommy's side of the family on Christmas Eve and Christmas day!  All the cousins had fun there as well and Briana was very spoiled as the youngest child at the Wilson family Christmas party!

  The kids have been learning lessons of giving and watched the Veggie Tales true story of St. Nicholas in order to understand where we come from as Christians during the holiday season.  We hope to teach them more and more as they grow up and are able to understand.  The kids were quite spoiled in gifts this year, but their favorite gifts were definitely the gifts of time spent with loved ones!  We have been so blessed to get to spend lots of time with all of our loved ones over the past few months!  From our trip to Joplin (although not under the best circumstances) right before Thanksgiving to our trip to Colorado right after the New Year, we have been blessed so much!   We even have family visiting this weekend!  The blessings are just pouring into 2014 and we are really loving every moment of it!
