December 2013

 This year I took Katelyn to see The Nutcracker for the first time and I wasn't sure how sure she would do with it but SHE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!



Then we went to Starbucks for a cake pop and hot chocolate!



My husband spoke to the High School Students at ACS for one of their chapels - it was awesome!




When Nelson Mandela died, both my husband the other family in our church from South Africa were interviewed by the paper for their thoughts on his passing.


I had heard so much about this children's museum in Philadelphia called the PLEASE TOUCH MUSEUM - it is rated as one of the top of children's museums in the country and it was AMAZING!






























Oh yes!  We had snow in December!  Last winter (our first winter in NJ was super mild) we had tons of snow!








Gingerbread House Making! 







Katelyn doing Daddy's hair!


Pretty Girl in her Christmas Dress!


Daniel totally obsessed with the Rainbow Loom!


A couple in the church hosted a dessert night for married couples at Fusion Church - super fun night!



 Happy Birthday Jesus Party in Katelyn's classroom!







 Staff Christmas Party at our house!






 Daniel's class had a pajama party, breakfast and book exchange for their Christmas class party!


Katelyn's Christmas Program!












We did Christmas at our house early since we were flying out to Phoenix a few days before Christmas!





















Playing Break the Ice - one of their new Christmas games!





Christmas Stickers all over her body!

 Made it to Phoenix late Saturday night so drove to church with my little brother!


Polar Express with the family!



The baker bringing hot cocoa and cookies!









The conductor taking our tickets




The North Pole right out our window!


We missed Daddy but he had Christmas Eve services back in New Jersey to do - he flew in to Phoenix on Christmas Day!







 Santa bringing the silver bells around!






 Getting my outdoor walks in!

Christmas Eve services at Christ Life - these two are still buds - Zander and Daniel!



So... this was hilarious!  They called the children's choir on stage to do their Christmas Eve concert and Katelyn ran up there - she is so used to being on stage and performing that she didn't think anything of it - the funny thing is that her impromptu actions and singing was fairly darn good!  




My grandparents from Florida flew in as well!  Play doh time!



Amanda, Christopher and Jack flew in from Nashville so the cousins were all together!





My man finally flew in!  YEAH!


We waited for him to arrive to open presents!











 Christmas 2013 - The Wilson Family!




Aaron and Leigh Anne came over later and it was round 2 of presents!




My one and only nephew - love being an aunt!



We always visit our dentist when we are in AZ!


 Brendon preached at Christ Life - what a great message!!!!


We celebrated Brendon's birthday (Which is only 5 days after Christmas) at my parents house and Katelyn set the table:)


I got to see some of my friends and our kids got to have a play date - even got to meet this new little one!!!









 Back on the plane to NJ - all 4 - 5 hours of it!


Of course, this girl didn't sleep one second on the plane but totally went out at baggage claim!!!!
