{Christmastime 2015}

If you're as sweltering as we are here in Texas, you'll be happy to transport in time with me to visit ThePoeFam Christmas 2015. Blogging has definitely taken a backseat in my busy life, but I'm determined to revisit these sweet memories and try to catch up...to some degree! 

Here's a quick-ish snapshot at all of our events leading up to Christmas! What a magical and busy time it was. 

November 29th: Hanging of the Green at our church & SNOW!!! (We'll take what we can get!) 




 Decorating our own house was super dreamy with this little miss this year. She loved it all and would ooooh and ahhhh at the decor and lights. 




The outside blowups and lights were a HUGE hit every night. All three of my kiddos couldn't wait to "wake them" each evening!
Her first gown...

 Counting down to Christmas with their buddies...
 December 3: Nash's Christmas Open House at School

 Peeky, our elf, was full of surprises this year and brought us these fun glasses one day...


December 4-5: Egg Noggin' Youth Retreat at Forest Glen

 We love spending as much time as we can arournd the tree...
 


December 11: Fuse Tacky Sweater Christmas Party at our house...


December 12: Jingle Bell Run....The boys were excited to participate in another race but had a little shock when they got mixed in with the 5K crowd and ran that instead of the 1 mile they were supposed to run. A very nervous Momma and Daddy had them page the police on the course to find our boys...and, they were quickly discovered and sent in the right direction. They were relieved and tired when they crossed the finish line!

Home to get on jimmies, get their spoons and go to look at Christmas lights before we come back home to get ready for Santa. 




We visited this amazing house twice this year and stayed to dance and sing both times. Such fun!

Merry Christmas  {Eve} to all, and to all a good night! 

It was, as always, my favorite time of year! The days leading up to Christmas just can't be matched! I'll look forward to it forever! (and we only have 6 months to wait!)
