Oklahoma Christmas 2013

We spent the second half of our week off with my family back in Oklahoma. We had such a wonderful time celebrating with them! It was extra special that Mary-Claire was old enough to enjoy Christmas, too, this year and super cute to see the cousins in action together!

Christmas Eve with Aunt Sarah

Christmas Eve with Aunt Elizabeth... Julia's face cracks me up!

On Christmas, Julia was SO excited to start opening presents!

Her aunt gave her the cutest hairstyle.

Mary-Claire arrived, wearing the same outfit Julia wore on her first Christmas!

Be still my heart.

So much love.

Papa Gary and Mary-Claire

Opening presents

We made Meghan a binder of her favorite recipes, printed, put in plastic sheet protectors, and organized by recipe type.

We made Erik a sign for his garden (close ups to follow).

Our little family.

The whole family!

Cousins in matching pajamas. Oh yes! These were from Grandmom Anne.

Julia dancing to Gangnam Style, thanks to Sarah's new Gangnam Style toothbrush.

Running out of steam on the matching pajamas.  I'd bought them these ones a long time ago. They also got some super cute gingerbread ones from Grandma Judy...

... but MC had had enough!

The silhouette I painted for my mom of Julia and Mary-Claire.

The sign we made for Erik's garden. My dad helped me by doing the wood cutting. Aaron and I did the drilling and screwing together, and I painted it.
