It's CHRISTMAS!

 

 

I have to be honest -- I didn't take a ton of Christmas pictures.  We truly had a fantastic Christmas and just enjoyed it.  There wasn't a lot of hustle and bustle, it was just really nice. 

 

Megan, Justin, and girls came back the weekend before Christmas.  It is always fun to get the kids together. 

 

SenaKay had gotten a selfie-stick so we put it to the test! 

 

The Stewart side had our first gathering without Grandma.  It was therapeutic to get everyone together again and we had a nice evening. 

 

Isaac got a new tree for his bedroom to fit his theme.  It turned out well!  Mr. Jingles, our elf, also got creative with Star Wars and ballerina snowflakes to tell the kids they had a snow day from school.

 

Amelia and Caroline were angels in the preschool Christmas program.  

 

 Christmas Eve!

 

I didn't do well taking many pictures but Robynn however got a new camera and was excited to use it so I'll just hijack pictures from her blog for mine!  Great job, Sis!

We can't let Christmas pass by without giving a shout out to this couple and their smashing outfits!

I've never known a better looking guy in a dinosaur, handgun, poinsettia suit.

Seriously, I haven't.

Christmas morning! 

 

 

We made the kids crawl in bed with us for a picture before we checked to see if

Santa was here!

 

 

Closest shown, Caroline had asked for "brand new shiny rain boots!" and Santa met that wish!  Amelia had asked for horse toys so Santa set them both up with their new boots and new horse toys.  Isaac got a skateboard and some Legos.  Chloe got ANOTHER stick horse and a Little Live Pet set. 

 

We spent Christmas time in WaKeeney and all the kids were all over Andy, as usual!

 

These pictures were taken at Leonard's funeral, but the kids all had on Christmas outfits so it's fitting to share at Christmas time. 

 

We are so thankful for all of our family.  With two funerals at the end of the year it makes you appreciate the time you have and the quality of people in our lives. 

2015 was a great year.  Royce traveled even more than I did, we had opportunities for 4-H trips, family road trips and Royce and I's amazing trip to the UK.  God is good!
