Christmas 2014

  We spent the weekend before Christmas in Indy with The Bailey side, spent 5 days at home, and then spent a week with my family after Christmas. Whew! There was a lot going on, but it really was a terrific break.

 We played a lot of games over the holiday.  Yay!! Crystal bought the girls a new card game. Big hit and fun for adults to play with kids, too :)

 Papaw and baby Jane.  She was laughing so much.

 The girls and their favorite dog, Charmin. She is getting old, so this was a "good-bye" photo. :(

 Crystal Jean with Jane Crystal :) Who loves who more??!!

 The girls in their matching pjs on Christmas Eve.  Games, movies, and Christmas lights!

 The big girls love these sticker books.

Sarah's favorite toy was the brand new Calico Critter house that I got for $5! Happy toddler and happy Mama :)

 Our baby girl was sick on her first Christmas. She got a stomach bug & fever, but somehow it didn't get passed to the rest of us. Thank you, Lord!

The Lego set put together before noon on Christmas day :) 

 We went ice skating downtown and then got donuts at the Westin across the street. This was Anna's first time on ice skates. She was brave; it was cold.

 Love my family!  It had been 2.5 years since we had all been together :) It's crazy & busy when we are all out and trying to get around, but someday the kids will be asking to do things without the Moms and Dads :)

 Cuties - Kate & Cody :)

 Cousins!!  We went to "Santa's Workshop." This was scene display that a department store hosted in downtown Cincinnati 20-30 years ago. My family has so many memories of visiting it each year when we were kids.  They opened it up again in a nearby town, so we took the kids. Wow! It brought back a lot of memories.

 I have too many photos to count and too many stories to post!
