Christmas with the Kranks

Garrett got train tracks to go with his birthday gift, and he loves putting the pieces together till this day. He is always setting it up in these random ways. It is very cute.
Self explanitory.
The girls in their Christmas dresses at Mom's for Christmas Eve dinner and program. We found cute, cheap dresses right before Christmas and I wanted ones they could wear throughout the year that didn't seem too holidayish. These fit the bill.
A cute moment I caught while singing Christmas hymns. It was very sweet.
Brynne made aprons and bought cookie stuff for the girls. So cute! And Aunt Kim made them crayon holders. Very crafty ladies!

I am a little late but hope the holidays found everyone happy and healthy and full of joy. We had a nice, mellow Christmas, mostly due to decreased funds, but it made things seem not so stressful this year. I am all about no stress. So we had Christmas eve with my family, we exchanged gifts and had our Christmas program which always brings a nice spirit. Emma read the scriptures this year which made me tear up. She is getting so big and smart! The next day on Christmas I was supposed to work but I had been getting sick, and was pretty sick that day. I didn't have to go in until noon so I got to wake up and do presents with everyone, but had to start getting ready for work. I called in to see if it was busy and the girls said it was completely slow and not to worry about coming in. I was so thankful. I went to bed until about 5pm. I felt bad missing out on the kids playing with their gifts and making Christmas more special, but I just was not feeling well. So, all in all, a good, laid back holiday.
