Erickson Family: December 2013

Our Christmas Tree 2013

December is a month our family really looks forward to every year! We love Christmas and the spirit it brings into our home. It is a super busy month with many activities. Some of the many activities for December:

*Wapello School Christmas Concert.
*Wapello 2nd ward Christmas Party.
*Baldwin and Erickson Christmas Party.
*Jake's work party for the kids.
*Jake and Madelyn's Birthday!
We went to Vegas for 8 days so December went even faster than normal. I had to get the Christmas shopping done early, because by the time I got back from Vegas, it was nearly Christmas. I have cut way back for Christmas, so it is a breeze to be able to shop.(on-line shopping is the best!)

Baldwin Christmas Party 2013 was another great party for our family. It is hard to figure out schedules for all of us. It is pretty crazy when our big families get together but we LOVE SPENDING TIME with our families!

The Baldwin Christmas Nativity

Jagger wasn't too sure about being a Shepard.

So many pretty angels!

Jace is such a nerd! He was the star for our Nativity.

McKenna was "Mary" this year. She was totally excited about it, and took the role of Mary very serious!

Christmas Church outfits! I love dressing up my kids for Christmas! I don't think I have many more years that my girls will all wear the same dresses, but maybe for a couple more.

This is the only picture I got at the Erickson party. We love going the day after Christmas to see all the Ericksons. Great food and Great people!

Jagger's costume for the Erickson Christmas Party!

We look forward to the Wapello School Christmas Concert each year! The girls got to wear their Christmas Dresses for the program. They looked so pretty!

Christmas Decor

Jagger at the Ward Christmas Party. He loved the decorations on the tables.

These are funny girls! Madelyn, Eden and Ellie are the bestest friends!

Christmas Eve We went to G&G Baldwin for Christmas Eve. We all wear our PJ's we got from Grandma. We had soup and rolls. We did a chocolate fountian also, that was a big hit with all the kids.

Christmas Day
Chrismtas Day was spent at home all by ourselves. We love just hanging out, playing games, having christmas dinner, going in the hot tub, and having both set of grandparents come visit us. The kids just play with all the toys. It was a very relaxing time and fun memories.
