Holiday Season

I have been terrible about taking pictures this Holiday Season. Between the end of the semester, getting decorated, Christmas shopping, and spending time with family, grabbing the camera was the last thing on my mind. I also had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day so I didn't get to be at home as much as I would have liked. December was a busy month.

I found an old holiday dress of mine in my moms stored things and I couldn't resist putting Danyka in it.

My sweet little girl. Can you tell the dress is over 20 years old?

I thought she looked pretty dang cute. As you can tell my Christmas tree didn't get decorated until after finals. I had to change about 1/2 the lights on it. I HATE light problems.

My sister came into town just before Christmas. We all got together the Sunday before to have the kids picture taken for my Moms Christmas card. I loved the girls dresses and for the most part the kids behaved pretty well.

Goofy girl. Danyka enjoyed being the center of attention.

Christmas morning is always a bit of a whirlwind trying to spend time with everyone. This year Grandpa and Grammy Nichols came to our house in the morning to save us a little time. We had our little Christmas at home. Danyka took a bit to wake up but she was so much fun this year. She couldn't wait to play with her toys or open her presents.

After we were done we went up to my moms house to have Christmas with the rest of the family. This Christmas was a bit overwhelming. We are so grateful for the generosity of our family. I sure hated to leave and go to work.

All in all we had a very Merry Christmas. It was fun to spend time with family. The festivities were over way too fast. I look forward to next year when I won't have school to worry about. I'll try to be better about the picture taking. We hope you all have a Happy New Year. Good luck in all your endeavors.
