Frozen

Frozen...not the Disney movie, but our yard.

 Jesse was so kind to clean the ice off my car before he left for Memphis.

 Our backyard looks so pretty!

Love the blue sky.

 

The girls threw a few snowballs.

My owls.

 Maddie "helped" shovel snow to make a ramp on the neighbors driveway to sled down.

  Her face!

 Savannah wanted to ride with Tessa.

I almost got run over!

They had so much fun today! I had to call them in when it was dark for dinner. 

Grandma and Grandpa Robert

We were glad to have Grandma meet Geneva! They got in some sweet cuddles and lots of smiles. 

 We had a great time visiting. They were so helpful getting errands done for me, we went on a brisk walk, read many books, went to church, went out to dinner (nice treat), had a second Christmas morning, and celebrated the New Year together with friends and fondue. So thankful you both came out! We love and miss you.

Here's a Few More of AD...

 We had such a wonderful visit with Aunt Dottie. Over the 10 days, the girls enjoyed playing Candy Land, reading, staying in PJ's until late, watching movies, and even finding hidden pictures with her.

 Here's the girls dressed in the new outfits Aunt Dottie bought them...she finds the cutest clothes :)

We went to tea at Debbie Upchurch's home. The Grandmas and the young ones had fun that afternoon.

 Daddy enjoyed playing "Operation" with the girls!

Maddie loves her new Abigail puzzle From Aunt Deb. This stuffed animal talks to you as you read her a story or phrase off the puzzle. Super cute!

Here's a couple pictures a friend captured at church.

Geneva just loves smiling at Aunt Dottie!

We miss you...

Christmas

Christmas Eve day we went to the Swiss Bakery for lunch and a treat!

Aunt Dottie has been to Switzerland in earlier days, and enjoyed the restaurant.

That evening, we went to our Christmas Eve service. Since I had to feed Geneva, we went to the atrium and watched Daddy preach from there. The girls got a front row seat!

Too funny!

Christmas PJ's

Sisters.

 Geneva's first Christmas!

 We certainly had quite a lot of gifts to open!

 All three girls loved their stockings.

 Aunt Dottie's turn to open her stocking.

 Cute girls!

 I love these sweeties.

 Aunt Dottie really enjoyed watching the girls excitement with each gift. 

 It's play time with the new gifts. Thank you family and friends for all the generosity!

 Afternoon kicks.

 Geneva's new phone. She was pretty excited to have her own cell.

    

 Look at me...I'm longer than my stocking!

Christmas Festivities

 I can't get enough baby snuggles in with Geneva! She's the sweetest little one. 

 She has started sleeping from 11:30pm- 7am the last two nights. Momma is feeling a bit more sane!

 Thanks Aunt Melissa for my hair bows!

 I know, lots of Geneva shots. I can't help myself. I just put away all of her newborn clothes...she's growing up way too fast.

 My 3 babies ready for church!

 We've really enjoyed doing the advent together each day this December. It was rough to start- both girls were not into sitting still, but after a few nights, they learned to listen carefully and participate. Food helps, too :)

 Jesse does a great job going through a verse about the birth of Christ, and uses our nativity as a prop!

After that, we sing a carol, then choose a Christmas card or two that we've received, and pray for those people.

 Last night we had Jesse's "A Team" over for a Christmas party. These guys meet at 6am every Tuesday morning- dedication! 

 It was fun to visit with them and their wives. We sang a couple Christmas hymns, too.

Yes, Maddie is wearing reindeer antlers.

 Babies everywhere!

And Joe read us a lovely children's Christmas story...super fun!

Aunt Dottie is Here!

Everyone is happy to have Aunt Dottie here!

 This picture makes me laugh- the flash made everyone close their eyes, except Geneva's!

Morning time at the Johnsons's!

 

 Penny was so kind to get the girls microphones and guitars for Christmas! Now was have shows running all day- come on over for a free performance :)

 Must have a cookie break.

 Story time!
