Christmas Extras

We love Christmas time around our house! This year was a little different with a 3rd child and a trip to Texas. We didn't quite get all of the traditional holiday activities in, like gingerbread houses and homemade cookies for Santa, but we still managed to squeeze the important things in. No matter what, we had a great time and made some happy memories.

We went in search of the perfect Christmas tree. It was cold, cold, cold but we managed to find one.

Normally we have hot chocolate after getting our Christmas tree to warm us up. This year was different. We got our tree in Franklin and then we drove around the downtown square. Franklin is such a pretty, picture perfect town. We just couldn't resist getting out and walking straight for a frozen yogurt place called Sweet CeCe's. Yes, FROZEN yogurt rather than HOT chocolate but hey, the frozen yogurt and toppings were so good it warmed us up anyways. It really is a neat little place. If you are even in downtown Franklin, you have to check it out!

David and I are standing in front of our decorated Christmas tree. We were headed to a Christmas get together with some of David's buddies from the fire department.

We had Breakfast with Santa at our church. I love this picture. Sam looks like he is holding on for dear life! I am just happy to have a picture of all 3 of them. Logan and Addie did get their own time in Santa's lap. Addie asked for nail polish, a baby, and a stroller. Logan asked Santa for a DS, a Star Wars spaceship, and a Star Wars guy.

After Breakfast with Santa, we headed to see David at the fire station to get a picture for our Christmas card. We were successful and got a good shot of all three looking at the camera...

This was a reject picture but I still think it is cute! It is amazing how many pictures we take just to get one good one!

What a fun time of year! Yes, busy and a little bit of craziness (especially with 3 kids) but I am always sad to see this time of year go.
