Christmas Eve

We attended the Christmas Eve service at my parent's church. It was nice except that my little man was a little wrestless and we listened from the nursery most of the time. The kids always love to run around in the church, on the stage, what kid doesn't?

This is Blake, Daddy, and baby Jacob. He was so cute!
Here are the girls playing with the Little People Nativity Set.Looking like seals getting ready for the picture. Silly girls.Getting ready for Santa to comeGoing to bed. This picture would have been perfect with Blake in it! :(

We spent Christmas with my family in Louisiana. It is always nice seeing family and having extra hands to help with the kids! These are some pictures leading up to Christmas...

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christian Preparatory Academy Pre-K Christmas Program

I have been so super busy since I began working part time at the church. Not to mention the Christmas season. We leave Monday for Louisiana to spend time at my parent's house. We are then leaving our children there for 2 extra weeks while we come home and pretend we are newly married again without kids. In that time I plan on posting lots of pictures I have taken recently. I also did not do Christmas cards yet... who has time with a 5, 3, and 1 year old. Seriously? As I type they are begging me to make lunch, the house is a wreck, and I still have packing and cleaning to do.

Anyways, to all who stop by here and read every now and then... MERRY CHRISTMAS! I have different hours next year and hope to post more! How else will my mom see her babies? :)

Who says we can't have snow in Homestead?

Last week I screamed to my heart's content on the phone with my dad. Why? They had 6 inches of snow in Robert, LA. My mom and I LOVE snow and cold weather. Sadly, we have to endure winter after winter only seeing it on tv. The Christmas after Kourtney turned one I prayed for snow and really hoped in my heart to see a flurry in Louisiana while we were there. On Christmas morning while we were opening presents it actually snowed. Not enough to stick, but I got my flurries as a wonderful Christmas present and a great memory.This year my mom prayed for snow and she said she should have been more specific. It snowed, but had it waited a couple more weeks my kids could have played in it! My mom played in it for 3 hours. Their power was out, the town was a buzz and they had a blast.
So today I came across this packet of fake snow my friend Jessica gave me a couple years ago. We tried it last year and Kourtney was grossed out by the texture. This year, they played with it for over an hour. I must say, it was much easier sitting at a table playing with snow in night gowns than dealing with layers of clothes, wet boots, runny noses, and potty breaks with snow suits on. This might become a Johnson south florida tradition. Who says you can't have snow in Homestead?
