JOY to the World.

Merry Christmas! xoxo 

Blessed.

Determined to start the New Year with nothing over my head, I am going to post the entire month of December (and a little bit of November) in one BIG long POST.

Like all families, December for our family is a wonderful, crazy, and magical time. We have so much to be thankful for and are so BLESSED in both love and happiness. So, without further adieu...

Thanksgiving at the Riches.

 

Our Annual Santa Party at Papa and Nana's house.  

Jingle all the way...

My cute Dad who asked for a "Big Fish."

Cousins!

My Sister was here... Together Again.

Happy Birthday to my Dad!

We love your DIY hands and loving heart. 

(thanks for painting that little guys room during the Christmas season).

Happy Birthday to my Mom.

We love your sewing hands, wonderful spirit, and G*Ma ways.

Happy Birthday to my Sister.

We love your patience, kindness, and beautiful smile.

Happy Birthday to my brother Chad.

We love your humor, laughter, and super hero ways.

Awards.  

All of our babes received an award this trimester. Way to Go J's.

A CHANCE Family Christmas with surprise guest... my cousin Jen.  All the way from Chicago, what a treat.  Christmas isn't Christmas, until I see my cousins and reminisce about all the Christmases we spent together at Grandma and Grandads.

Merry Christmas Eve! xoxo A
