Holiday Recap

The holidays are finally over and the words I can think to describe it was wonderful, happy, friend filled, stressful, and exhausting.  The Thank you cards have all been written and mailed and Christmas decorations will start coming down this weekend and we can officially put the 2012 holidays to bed, and maybe I'll get a nap in there too.  The girls were overly spoiled by their friends and relatives, we ate WAY too much, and slept very little it seemed.

Here are a couple of photos from our adventures:

Christmas Day at the Bovee house. 

Megan teaching Theo how to paint in her new book.  He had never painted before and Megan was a very good teacher.

Schmidt/Bovee Christmas Day - these two were the sorters, hard to tell where actual piles are.

Owen and the quilt I made him, finished in time for Christmas thankfully.

First Christmas for Emma and Owen, they look like they have matching outfits almost.  Emma is wearing Megan's and Owen might have Theo's on from the 2009 Christmas - so there is a chance they are matching.....

Christmas with our neighbor's the Roddy's.

Visiting Santa at Carrollton Christmas - and yes, Emma is crying.  The whole room cheered as they have missed a crying Schmidt Christmas photo.  Just wait until next year.....

The Schmidt great-grandchildren exchange before opening - Abby and Megan are in there somewhere.  There are 21 great grandchildren now and only 1 on the way that we know of for 2013.  Doris and Joe would be so proud.

Emma enjoying her first mechanical horse ride on New Year's Day.

We spent New Year's at the Lake with our usual crew minus the Resnik's who decided to have a baby on NYE.  I'm counting on Jenn to post pictures for that in her December Daily posts.
