Happy New Year's Eve!

Getting pictures of these little girls is officially a pain. Ivey just keeps trying to scoot out of the picture to go here or there. The big girls just want to pose and make funny faces AND they refuse to wear real clothes or keep their hair brushed. And mama just wants a cute picture of my three girls on New Year's Eve. The following is what I got, but it documents what I need it to. Hoping everyone has a super safe and fun New Year's Eve! We've had such a blessed and joyous 2015, and are looking forward to a wonderful 2016.

Ivey's First New Year's Eve

Christmas in Madison

We traveled to Madison on the day after Christmas and celebrated Christmas with my aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Lila and Will

After our family left, we had Christmas with Grammy, Papa, and Casey. The girls loved their new toys. The are such blessed little ladies.

Rudy had to horn in on Casey's rocking time!

While we were in town, this sweet girl turned 4 1/2! So hard to believe that on her next birthday, she'll be a whole hand old. She's such a smart, spunky, enthusiastic girl. She has a determined mind and a sweet heart. She's loving, caring, stubborn, and absolutely hilarious. She's such a hot mess!

Casey got some good loving from Ivey Frances

Merry Christmas!

Santa definitely made an appearance last night! We had some very excited little ladies this morning. Lila loved her bike, and Clare was pumped about her new scooter. They have spent all day playing with all of the different things that they got this morning. Ivey had a great first Christmas. She played well with her toys and even tried to unwrap some of the gifts. We are so blessed by these little girls, and their excitement and love of all things Christmas despite all that's been going on has been contagious. They had a hard time settling down last night, and though they weren't up too early, they were ready to go when their eyes popped open. 

We hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas this year!
