Our Christmas

Christmas this year was not like any other we've had before.  Not only was it our first year to where Harper could understand what was going on and enjoy the activities, but this year we were not in "our" home for Christmas.  We sold our house and moved out on December 9th and moved in with Mee-Maw, my mother-in-law.  We do not have a house yet, so we are still living with her.  Things are going well and I couldn't ask for a better living situation for this transition, but after 4 months we are ready for our own home!

Christmas came and went so quickly, probably because we were busy with selling our home, moving, and trying to get accustomed to our new settings.  It was a wonderful Christmas and we made sure that at the forefront of our hearts was to celebrate our Savior's birth and to remember that home truly is where the heart is.

At my mom's this year, the kids put on a Christmas Pageant.  It's something I would always do with my cousins for my Mee-Maw when I was little and I thought it would be nice for my kids to do the same.  It wasn't anything spectacular, but it sure was fun and the kids were so CUTE!!

I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not a very good photographer.  I wish I were, but I find no enjoyment in taking pictures, just viewing them.  :)  Plus the camera on my phone is not working so any pictures of Christmas with McInerny's haven't been uploaded yet.  Regardless of how good or bad of a photographer I am, here are some pictures to show what we did this Christmas.
