santa's coming!

christmas eve is one of my most favorite days of the whole year! i love all the baking and eating and visiting and lights and anticipation that still causes me to have trouble sleeping. i just love all of it, and even though we were missing the big piece of family this year, we're thankful for our statia family that made our day so great!

i baked/cooked my butt off all day while dust took the boys to the beach, and then it was time to play! here are our shepherds on our way to the christmas eve party!!!

Looks like you had a pretty great Christmas, even away from family. It's kind of nice that everyone there is in the same boat..,far from family so you might as well party together! Love the black baby Jesus and Santa! Have a fun visit with your family!
