Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! The timing was just right so I was off on maternity leave as well so I really got to enjoy the holidays with the kids. Each year is gets more and more fun as they understand what Christmas is all about.

Here we are at my parents on Christmas Day:

Christmas Snapshots

This picture cracks me up! The kids really got into dressing up like Mary and Joseph and the shepherds. Here is Mary:

And a shepherd:

Santa!

The kids were all brave enough to sit with Santa this year. We saw him a total of 3 times during the holiday season so they got to know him pretty well!

Wade had big expectations of Santa this year. I'm afraid each year it's just going to get more and more!

Jude's Baptism

Jude was baptized on Thanksgiving weekend. We got to share this special day with both of our families!

All of the Spencer grandkids! Wade, Lila, Faith holding Jude and Tinley, Norah and Allysen.

Family picture after the baptism and it's not too bad (if we're all looking at the camera, it's considered a good picture!).
