my favorite time of year

Christmas really is my favorite time of year. This year was extra full with Heath's 30th birthday on the 12th, my family came the week before Christmas and Jovie's birthday is quickly after on the 7th. Oh and did I mention I vowed to only give handmade gifts this year? Yikes. I unfortunately spent too much of my favorite season running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Despite that truth everything was fun and I have pictures to prove it.



Happy Birthday Heathy!



Lots of friends


We're friends with lots of babes now too.






Heath bar cheesecake...yumm.

Like I said my family was here the week before Christmas. We spent most of our time looking like this and watching episodes of the office. I don't just like my family, or tolerate my family for the holidays. I LOVE my family. We always have the best time just being together.

Jovie is sharing bagel with her Uncle Bubba.


Heath's 2 favorite babes.


Jack is giving his dad a thumbs up on our nice walk. (Jack and Heids are wearing the crochet ditties I made for them.)


My dad bought a tent for Jack and I am still not sure who likes it more Jack or Jesus.


The present was definitely a hit with everyone.


Can I just mention how much I love, love, love my nephew Jack? He is sooo sweet and gentle and loving!


tent kisses


I wish my family could have been here for a month.


Nevermind, I wish my family would NEVER leave.



Heath filled my stocking with Twix because it's my favorite.


It's been 3 weeks and I can't even remember what I put into his stocking.



This is the stocking that I fashioned for her at ridiculous o'clock in the morning.



I made this hat for Jovial on Christmas day. She really likes hats:)


... and she LOVES her new kitchen. Oh my gosh, she is so busy!


Lately, she also loves talking on the phone. So, we got her a purse with a phone and a wallet in it.



We had a really small b-day celebration for Jovie. Seriously, we didn't even invite our friends we only invited people that Jovie hangs out with.


Jovie is a party animal!


Jovie checks with Jack to make sure he's having fun.


Jov's friends

Jovie is one!
