Merry Christmas

The kids were tickled to see that their requests for electronics were fulfilled on Christmas morning🙄🙄🙄. Now on to the fun part of regulating the usage of said electronics😳😳😳. We played for a bit at home before heading over to my parents for brunch.
So, so great to have both of my sisters home for Christmas!
The original 5.
For the last month, the kids have rehearsed  a Christmas play. They created the costumes, made hand drawn programs, and worked so hard to be able to share the Christmas story with our family. They knocked it out of the park and did an incredible job!
They rest of the day looked much like this.  Games, legos, puzzles and playing! 
And with this, my 25th post of the day, I have successfully recapped 2018 with 1 hour and 40 minutes left before midnight! That said, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I'll see you in 2019!!! 

Christmas Eve

We had a jammed packed Christmas Eve that started by going to the movie to see Mary Poppins Returns and it was fabulous! I love a musical and I loved all the tie ins with the original movie. So good!
We went the the candle light service at our church. It's always such a sweet time!

We had pancakes at my parents house before heading home to do our little family Christmas.  
We got into our pjs just about the same time that J made it home from church. Then it was time for our family presents. I love that the kids pick out gifts for their siblings and spend their own money to buy them. They really are thoughtful and they get so excited to give to each other.
Merry Christmas from our little family!

Christmas Eve Eve

When we got back into Madison, we were greeted by Aunt Carolyn, Haley, Robert, Jordan, Ross and all the dogs!  We were so excited to be with the whole gang!!!
Yes Em, it was loud!
All the puppy cuddles = all the allergy meds😂😂😂
Someone has a flare for the dramatics😂

My puppy loving people were sad that the dogs couldn't join us for church with Kay Kay and G.  I'm guessing the dogs enjoyed their brief break from their human cousins!

It was a pretty solid start to our Jones Family Christmas!
