Our Holidays

We drove home to Georgia for Thanksgiving this year.  Chris took a few vacation days so that we would have a little over a week to spend with all of our family.  I miss Trenton and living on the mountain, so it was so relaxing to be able to spend several days up there.  The leaves were falling - it is still very green in Florida - and it was so beautiful.  Papaw (Chris' dad) had raked his leaves into a BIG pile a couple of days before we arrived.  The girls took care of those carefully piled leaves almost as soon as we got there! 


 
 
The Monday after we got home from our Thanksgiving trip, I had an OB/GYN appointment to find out whether we were being blessed with another baby girl or our first baby boy.  And...
BOY! YAY!  We are all SO excited!  Baby boy Daffron can't get here soon enough!  There are 3 little girls I know just waiting to love on him!  Less than 16 weeks to go!
 
 
Since we spent so much time at home during Thanksgiving, we had to stay in Orlando for Christmas.  We spent Christmas Eve at aunt Lynn's house, and spent the day together as a family Christmas Day.  A couple of days before Christmas, we made home-made sugar cookies and the girls decorated them with different colored icing and sprinkles. Here is a picture of all of our cookies:
 
 
 During the cookies decorating we had to take a break to make funny faces.  Love my girls!
 
Our Christmas was wonderful - the girls were excited with every gift they received.  We are so very blessed, and I can't wait to see what 2013 brings us!  I'll leave you with a few pictures from our Christmas.
