Waking up Christmas morning

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve

Before Christmas Eve service

Talia was a little excited about the presents!

The girls set out milk and the cookies they made

Love this sweet letter Tatum wrote to Santa!  She really is such a caring soul!

Picture that Talia took of Daddy and Mommy

Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's

Santa visited Grandpa and Grandma's house - he had gifts for everyone.  Mommy forgot her camera, so she used her phone.  Not sure why the pictures didn't turn out?  Sad - there are some cute ones!

7 Barth grandkids - 5 are missing!!

This picture was so cute of the girls - too bad it was not clear!!

Snow Day

December finally brought some snow!  School was actually cancelled for a snow day!  We took advantage and went sledding.

Tatum was part time photographer

There's my bundle of energy!

Santa

Every year the kids get a picture with Santa.  This year we found Santa while we were shopping in Florida.  Taizley has screamed each time - this year she cried a little bit, but at least she didn't scream!

Dancing Queen

Taizley is my little dancer!  All the girls love to dance, but if Taizley hears any music she just has to move!  Several times she has gotten out of the bathtub because her sisters are playing music.  She will dance & then get back into the tub!  This night I had just gotten her out of the bathtub - when I came back with her jammies, she had already put on Talia's leg warmers and was dancing.  She is so funny!

Class Parties

The girls all had class Christmas parties before break.  Talia's got cancelled because it snowed and they had their first official "snow day"!  Her class had their party after Christmas break to make up for it.

Not so sure Daddy should be in charge of the glue gun!

Making ornaments and eating treats

Polar Express Party

Every year we have a Polar Express Party.  This is the first year that the conductor showed up!  Loved it!!

There he is - the conductor!! 

Punching tickets at the door 

Taizley with her little friend Chloe - they were matching that night :-) 

Gift Exchange 

Taizley with her new pillow pet and lollipop!  Not sure which one she liked better!

Christmas Pageant

Tatum and Talia were in the Christmas Pageant at church.  Great job girls!!

Christmas Decorating

Every year the girls decorate their own Christmas trees for their rooms.  They do a really good job!
