We had the Annual Hillam Family Christmas Party.
Boy do these girls just love each other!
They are definitely 3 peas in a pod.
Here's my cute boy. He was feeling so super sick that night. He had a high fever and was just miserable, but managed to make it through the night anyway.
The Santa part of the party was changed this year (for the better). He called up entire families for a group picture, then gave the kids their gifts. It was really nice and it cut the time too!
But I had to get a pic of Melody with Santa on her first Christmas.
All of the kids had to wait until everyone had their gifts before they could open them. That was also fun to see the kids excited at the same time!
Mara is really getting excited about reading, especially the Elephant & Piggy books by Mo Willems.
It seems that this book worm gets books every year, but they make him happy, even when he's sick.
Jaina really wanted this phone. It was great because it teaches numbers, and that is what she really needed help with.
A few months ago I had a picture of Megan and I with our pregnant bellies. Now here's a pic of us with our babies!! Harper was born on November 5th, exactly 1 week before Melody.
On Christmas Eve we went to dinner with the Ramey side then went home to start a new family tradition.
The kids were so excited to get new jammies from Karri. She was amazing this year and sewed pants for everyone!
Even Melody had matching jammies!
They were really big on her, but she'll grow into them soon enough.
My matching girls.
Christmas morning was great for the kids.
Santa gave Xander his very own iPod
Mara her Lego Friends Dolphin Crusier Boat
And Jaina her Doc McStuffins Check Up Clinic
And I was able to enjoy my early gift = this sweet baby.
We went to Mana's Christmas morning, which is the traditional thing we do each year. But this time they (Mana, JD, Chris, & Karri) went all out and made her house into a Cafe!! The table was set for the kids with menus & coloring pages and JD was the waiter. They LOVED it!!!
Daddy got into the spirit and wore a Santa hat all morning
And these are my most favorite people in all the world.
I love when I'm able to catch these little moments.
Oh, how this daddy loves this little girl.
We started a new tradition this year: putting together a puzzle as a family (dad did most of it)
One day after Christmas, Jaina found all of her jewelry and had to dress up with it!
She was so proud of herself.
Here is Melody all dressed up for her first time going to church.
