Merry Christmas!
What a blessed season it has been! The girls are at such fun ages and watching them experience Christmas time is such a blessing!
This time last year, I never dreamed I would be spending this Christmas in a rental! ha! God certainly had some surprises in store for us this year!
So here is our run-down of how we spent our Christmas:
Shane came down with the stomach flu the week before and missed work a few days, thankfully, he was the only one in our family that had it! The Saturday before Christmas he was feeling better so we headed west to Brule to spend time with Shane's family. All of his siblings and their families were home, so the cousins had lots of fun playing! Christmas Eve morning we headed back to Lincoln in time to get the chili going in the crock pot and get ready for Christmas Eve Service at our new church.

| Girls opened their new pjs to wear to bed Christmas Eve night...matching Rapunzel nightgowns with princess slippers (all was a HUGE hit!) |
 |
| Emma woke up first and found a 'princess dress up closet' left by Santa. Shane spent a few late nights making the closet, then got sick, and I took over painting it after the girls went to bed. It was kinda a last minute decision to make one, it was what Emma had been asking for for months, but obviously not the easiest thing to make living in a rental, with Shane's tools still mostly packed, etc. We are really happy tho we made it happen, the girls have LOVED it! It has served for several other purposes other than a place to hang their dress-up costumes, such as, bath tub, boat, doctor's bed and more! |

| Bree got Ariel underwear! |
 |
| The Barbie Princess & the Popstar was certainly the theme this year with the girls' gifts! |

We had an incredibly blessed Christmas!
