To .... twenty16 Christmas Past -





Rend Collective played all morning on Spotify.
I washed dishes, did laundry & realized they were singing Christmas songs.

It's the first day of spring.
It's raining & overcast.
We're going back to Christmas.

Joyful. Joyful.
:)






Our Christmas morning was simple .... they slept 'in' surprisingly.

Sailor got Birkenstocks & a watch.
Jack got an xBox, a hat & a football.
Benny got a tent.
Molly got a scooter & fabric :)
Regan got a bike that was too big & an American Girl doll.
Chad got Match-Box cars & a Rubics cube.
Max got nothing.

I got Max :)
Rex got Nikes.

Some of us went to church, some of us didn't.


She also got a map .... this is after she'd colored 1/2 of it.


She also got a puzzle.

We had a quiet morning at Mom's.
We give each other really fabulous gifts like ironing boards, singing Frozen microphones, books. Super cute clothes, bath towels & baby dolls.



Mom got new knives .... and bandaids :)

Family pictures ..... by now it's just the obvious thing to do when all the Anderson's are in town.

Mismatched chairs.
A 4 day old baby.
Self timer.


And as these beauty's show ... several dozen to find the right light.
Then there are several 100 more waiting for all 18 people.








And then .....
