This holiday season our family had many "firsts"to celebrate. Our first Christmas in our new home, our first Christmas back in the states, and our first Christmas with LOTS of family!!!!!! Although we were so excited for all these things we had sooooo much work to do. We had nothing, just the clothes we brought and had to start from scratch. It is a lot harder than one can imagine, simple things like hot pads, can openers all the way to furniture. We had 6 days to do it all before Christmas, and somehow we were able to get most of the necessities taken care of. Oh ya and did I mention we hosted the festivities at our house! It was awesome, tiring, and never ending, but it was well worth every minute.
What would Christmas eve be without a live nativity. It was the first time we had a Mary, since all we have is boys. The kids thought it was so fun to be able to do this with their cousins.
Mary and Joseph!
Sort of a family shot except we are missing Cooper. Poor guy couldn't keep up.
White chocolate coconut cookies for santa and his helpers!
We had so much yummy food, wonderful company, so blessed for all we have. Chris was sad to not be able to do his usual 4th of july type fireworks celebration, but it was a fun just the same.
