Christmas in Pensacola (the first of our three Christmases)

We just got back from our trip to Utah and Idaho this week. I am trying to get caught up on all of our activities. I will try and get all the pictures up within the next few days. I hope you all had a good holiday season.

Brynn's School Christmas program. It was so cute, and they had fun outfits. They made their own shirts, and had cute reindeer ears. They then had a secret Santa gift exchange.

Santa came early to Pensacola to drop off some of the big gifts before our trip.

The night before he came the kids decorated gingerbread houses.

They also tried sleeping in the same bed. (That idea didn't last long).

The kids had a fun Christmas here. We celebrated it on Dec. 15, so it was a little strange for us, but the kids thought it was great to have an early Christmas.

The Pensacola Christmas parade. We ended up with 100's of beads. (They threw out candy, bead necklaces, and stuffed animals)

Santa came by firetruck to Brett's squadron's Christmas party

We weren't actually in Pensacola for Christmas, but we had fun celebrating the holiday season early.

Our Family

This was one of my early Christmas presents. I hope this will be a family tradition to get family pictures around Christmas. I am always so happy to get them done, but I am not going to lie it is quite stressful. I am so happy with the children's pictures. Some of them are priceless. I was a little sad about the wind being so strong, but I guess that is the joy of having the "ocean breeze". I really like to get family pictures because it makes me happy to see what is most important to me, especially at this time of year. I feel so blessed to have each of my children and husband in my life. I am also so thankful we get to spend Christmas together this year. I hope each of you are having a good Holiday season. You each deserve to have a wonderful holiday.
