Christmas Memories

Here are the memories of our Christmas Eve that went by way too fastAmelia loves the love that Aunt Jody gives
and she loved playing with Garrett every minute that she was awake!


the girls thought Garrett was amazing in everything he could do...even peeling a pomegranate


Dinner was amazingly deelicious (b/c Jody made it & I helped)




The cheese ball got a lot of attention, Jody posed b/c she thought this picture might qualify for the cover of America's Test Kitchen magazine...we'll see.





We began our Christmas Eve by following a program that Director Bryn Harrell printed out for us (she practiced with the girls every day for a week!)
(THIS PICTURE WAS MESSED UP B/C I TRIED TO CROP IT, SORRY BRYNIE)




Everyone took their part very seriously...








Our little wise man








the angel with her star





okay, so maybe not too serious




It was a success



then we had the polar express song sung by Bryn & Summer (it made me cry b/c Bryn spent so much time teaching Summer, it was too cute)



next on her schedule was red light, green light. Then a little white elephant exchange (it was pretty extreme...itunes gift card or toilet paper...Dave won!)


Christmas morning comes so fast!!!




Amelia was trying to figure out how she was going to get to that tricycle





and she found a little help from her cousin of course.







lots of unwrapping, lots






this is why we are so sad that Christmas day came so fast...






we had to give out lots of hugs, kisses and squeezes before they rolled out of town






when they were gone, truly gone, the truth finally settled in that they weren't coming right back...


we all put our head in our hands & stared at the wall.

How fun to have your sister for Christmas. I totally remember going to visit her at Y mount. And Garret was just a little baby! Now he is all grown up. Where does the time go? Happy New Year!

Zana!!!!! It's your long lost sister Kim! I finally found my Jody, hiding in your blog. Did she make it safe and sound to her new home yet? She sent your blog to me a few months ago and I can't get over how incredibly adorable your girls are and what a beautiful mom you are. You are so blessed! It's so fun to catch up on Wirth Family news through your photos.
xoxo Kim
