Fun in the sun

Christmas for me this year was a little weird being 80 degrees and all. So not used to that yet, apparently it takes a few years to realize that yes it is December and there is no snow on the ground ANYWHERE and never will. But, that's okay. The day after Christmas the family headed out to the beach in our summer attire and enjoyed making sandcastles and hanging out. Our new tradition apparently.

Oh my goodness, Ysa was so cute this year. She is old enough to do the whole Santa thing and she was SO excited to help sissy decorate the cookies and put the milk and water (for the reindeer) out. In the morning she was so shocked that "Santa" came to her house and ate her cookie. She felt so special. Adorable! We had an awesome time Christmas Eve, we had a little candlelight service at our house. We all lit candles and sat on the floor singing Christmas carols and talking about baby Jesus. It was very special! Here are some pictures of my cuties at Christmas!

Kansas got her guitar this year, which she was sooo excited about. Her face was priceless when she opened the box.

Ysabella got a Belle tea party set.
