The celebrating is in full swing around here!!!! We had a Parnell Christmas this weekend, celebrating with David's parents. They accompanied us to breakfast with Santa at the club, and then we spent time hanging out together. It was a great time full of family, fun, and food!
Some pics from "Christmas Morning".
Love these of the kids excited about breakfast.
Everyone had their own turn with Santa and then we squeezed the three of them onto his lap for one picture. Before long they won't be able to fit on all at once!
We were excited to see some of our most favorite people there as well. The Brister boys all looked so handsome in their red!

Monday was Lila and Bennett's school program. It was hard (for so many reasons) to hold back the tears. This was our last preschool Christmas program. We love their school and it has been an amazing part of our lives for 7 years!! The Christmas program is always so sweet, and I love the collars they wear.
Lila and Bennett were happy to have Mimi there.
Lila with two of her favorite boys!
Bennett, Cal, Lila, and Ellie- some of our favorite new friends!!!
The girls of pre-k5. They are a sweet and spunky bunch!
Their absolutely wonderful teacher, Mrs. Cantrelle.
Lila and Bennett with their buddy, Stevie. This pic kills me. Sweetness!!!
How blessed are they to have both sets of Grandparents in the audience?!
This picture (although fuzzy) had to be included because Bennett ringing the bells was the one thing that helped me keep the tears away. Every time he would ring he would drastically cock his head to the side (as you can see)- just hilarious! Not sure if he thought he was going to hit himself on the head or what? So much fun to watch!!
Without going into too much, definitely felt overwhelmed with both gratitude and sympathy while watching our sweet babies sing while other families mourn. Our hearts have definitely been hurting for those in CT. How blessed we are.
