Our Little Nativity Family

Hunter's Mother's side of the family gathers the Saturday before Christmas for a pretty detailed Nativity pageant.  But- the parts are handed out on the spot.  Haha.  We got passed Mary and Joseph.  I loved it.  It was pretty sweet- even though Henry was not the tiniest baby there.

He was a perfect little actor.  Never broke character.

Word of the Year: 

Patience 

I think I did pretty well.  I liked having fewer goals than 2014.  I'm going to do even less in 2016.  

Having them in my phone notes, on the blog and printed in the house helps me focus on them all year.  I probably read my goals almost every day.  At least every week this year.  

Christmas 2015

Christmas Eve! Breakfast.... then opening our favorite new present! 

New camera!

Henry is so helpful.   And standing. 

Off to the park! 

Pure bliss. 

That night we were at my parents.  I have photos somewhere.... 

Then we came home and filled the tree up with presents! While my baby was sleeping. 

CHRISTMAS MORNING!! LOOK AT US. 

Henry is really good at opening presents and getting into it. 

Working on his biggest present! 

Look at that face of joy! 

A swing. 

Breakfast at Abuelito's and Nona's.

We realized a few days later that he was teething on Christmas Day.  Good thing he got some tylenol. 

Checking out his toys with Nona. 

My family. 

Then Henry played with that truck for a long time while we loaded up. 

On our way back home the little boy couldn't let go of the truck. 

After a nap and a dose of tylenol, we were at Grandma and Grandpa Garners! 

With lots of cheese and meat.

Cousin friends.  Holding hands on their first Christmas Day. 

Deck the Halls!

I always like to look back and see how we decorated for Christmas each year and the changes we made in our house! 

There has been a big change from last year that you can see in this first photo:
