Christmas Celebrations + New Years

The official Christmas celebrations began on Christmas Eve Eve when Grandma and Grandpa delivered presents for the kids!   

They were so excited to open! :)

Christmas Eve is always our Preston Family Christmas and a day we look forward to all year!

We met at church for the morning Christmas Eve service.  

We spent the rest of the day at Mumsie and Popsie's house for cookie decorating, game playing, gift opening, and lots of eating!

We came home late that evening to set out cookies and milk for Santa and the kids had their annual sleepover in our room.  

Santa came and he brought everyone what they wished for!!!

(Mumsie and Popsie got GK the watch that she wanted more than anything.)

We were up early so we spent the next couple of hours having Jesus' birthday cake for breakfast and playing with our toys.  

I love this picture of Rhett!  GK got a face painting kit and they had SO much fun painting each other's faces.  

Later in the morning we headed to Gonzales for a few hours with the Culpepper crew!  It was a fun afternoon!

After a few days of recovering from the Christmas fun, we went down to the ranch for New Years. 

The boys got to watch Grandpa and Daddy both get deer on this trip and they were fascinated with the whole process. 

This little guy has fallen in love with hunting and ranch life.  

Cheers to 2020!

2019 Christmas Card

December!

Chris took the kids to the ranch the first part of Thanksgiving week.  While they were gone I decorated the house for Christmas with the exception of hanging ornaments on the tree.  This is something we always do as a family and our tradition on that night is that the kids get new Christmas pajamas, a new Christmas book, and an ornament to represent something about them that year.  

I sure do love these Christmas babies!

Reid's ornament this year was dominoes because he loves any type of game.    

Georgia Kate got a paint palette because we can always find her drawing, painting, or crafting something!  

Rhett's ornament is a soccer ball because he started and LOVED soccer in the fall!

Early in the month we went with our cuzzies to see Santa at Bass Pro!  The kids wrote letters before we went.  ALL Reid wanted was an elf.  We have never had an elf at our house this year, but he must have been pretty convincing because a couple of days after visiting Santa, our elf arrived.  

Introducing... Desmond.  Desmond was named after a random football player whose stats Reid was impressed with while studying/memorizing his 2019 college football preview magazine.  Sigh.

A watch and a wellie wisher doll were at the top of Georgia's list!

Rhett was really hoping for some dinosaurs!

Time to meet SANTA!

Mumsie and Popsie treated us to a fun night at Santa's Wonderland!  We had the best time!

Rhett rode a horse for the first time and was so happy.  

Reid and Georgia Kate got to go see The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever with Pierce and Emery!

We sure do love these special friends!

Gingerbread house making at school with my baby!

Rhett had his Christmas program at school.

We made gingerbread houses!

Georgia had her Christmas recital and this year Perry was in it too!

Dancing cuzzies!

Perry's biggest fan. :)

Rhett had a cookie decorating play date at his friend Tatum's house.

Georgia Kate went to an ornament making party at her friend Chloe's house and got to see two of her sweet kindergarten friends that she hasn't seen since last school year, June and Audrey. 

We watched the big kids sing in the annual Wolman Jingle Bell Walk!  This was GK's first one.  I didn't catch a picture of Reid.  

This guy was happy to watch!

We went to our third Teddy Bear Tea at the St. Regis with the Comeaux crew and it was just as adorable as ever.  This might be my favorite Christmas tradition!  

December was busy and so much fun!
