Miscellaneous Christmas Fun!

January 11, 2014 By Julia Leave a Comment

It never fails, I always regret
 not taking enough pictures. 
These are in no particular order. 
I had a bad habit this holiday season
of not charging my camera battery. 
So below are just a few of 
 our fun memories 
of this Christmas season! 
Christmas Choir Program
We were so proud of Roman!
The girls did great too!
Pajama Day at School
The girls love 
Mrs. Lukas!
We kickstart every Christmas 
season at the mall in Tuscaloosa
on Black Friday!
What’s more fun than being
at the mall on Black Friday 
with 9 kids?!?!
Annual Train Ride
Lottie would have 
nothing to do with the train!
Christmas Class Parties
Nixon’s class played a snowman game. 
She was the snowman. 
Nixon & Ryan
Nixon & Mrs. Sperry
They had a pancake breakfast!
Nixon & Hadley
Nixon & Jasia
Isla & Daddy
Isla let Roman 
in on the fun at her party!
Nativity Painting
Every year we get a new nativity. 
This year the kids painted one.
Nina painted baby Jesus. 
I’m pretty sure this will be my favorite 
nativity for years to come!

Farewell Breakfast

January 10, 2014 By Julia Leave a Comment

We didn’t get to have our annual 
Northpole Breakfast this year on December 1st 
so I decided we would
have it on Christmas Eve morning. 
It somehow developed into a 
“Farewell Breakfast”
for Casey our Elf. It was a great way to 
say goodbye to Casey!
Casey left a letter to the 
kids saying goodbye.
WHAT DID WE EAT?
 Strawberry Santas!

Hot Chocolate
 Flavored Cupcakes 
with Yummy Marshmallow Icing!
Grinch Fruit!
White Donut
Christmas Tree
(Roman added the angel)
Reindeer Pancakes
Nina’s Delicious
Orange Bread
The kids each got 
a Christmas Eve treat!
We all enjoy our 
annual Christmas breakfast!

While looking through these 
pictures I thought of the quote,
“The Best Thing About Memories,
is Making Them.” 
I love making memories 
with my children.

Christmas Night 2013

January 9, 2014 By Julia Leave a Comment


We went to Jessica and Mark’s house for
Christmas dinner. 
I’m sad I didn’t get pictures of everyone. 
 But I did manage to snap a few of my family
and Nina and Preacher. 

Nina & Preacher
Nina & Preacher
with my girls!
Isla wanted a picture
with Nina and mommy!
Me & my girls!
Lottie!
My boy!
Roman wasn’t too cooperative for pictures.
But neither was Jared!

Jessica made a cookie
cake for Jesus’s birthday.
We sang “Happy Birthday”
And everyone had
a turn blowing out the candles!
All I wanted all month was 
a picture of all 4 kids in 
their smocked nativity outfits.
I realize this was probably
 Nixon’s last year to agree to
matching smocked
 dresses with her sisters.  
(Texas is obviously rubbing off on her) 
They weren’t that into it…
Although we don’t have many pictures to 
document it, it was a good ending to a 
wonderful Christmas Day. 
 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

Christmas Morning 2013

January 4, 2014 By Julia Leave a Comment

Christmas Morning! 
The boys loved 
our matching pajamas! 😉
We were happy to spend Christmas
morning with Nina and Preacher!
Lottie’s stash!
Nixon and Isla’s stash!
I missed getting a picture of Roman’s
pile but this is really all he cared about! 
Everyone got a bike!
Even mommy!
Lottie loved her baby
accessories!
This could possibly be my
favorite picture of the day!
It captures Lottie’s diva personality 
perfectly! 
Dress-up was one of 
the kid’s biggest requests.
Of course the giant Batman was a big hit!
Lottie is still eating the candy 
out of her stocking!
Even though the girls
got their own dollhouse they
prefer Roman’s.
Christmas morning
loving!
The kids took turns
in the gift chair!
Nixon was very excited 
about her gift from Isla!

Nixon was a little
loud when she got excited!

Roman’s 1st video game! 
I’m not sure who was more excited?
Daddy got a turn in the 
gift seat!
He’s officially an old man. 
Someone enjoyed just 
rocking with daddy. 
Mommy got wanted a picture
with him
and she got VERY jealous!
After gifts it was time
for the birthday breakfast!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
JESUS!!!!
We sang Happy Birthday!
Daddy read the Christmas story.
And we ate!
After breakfast Nina &
Preacher had a surprise
 for the kids outside!
A new swing set!
It was a wonderful Christmas morning
celebrating our Savior’s birth. 
We are so thankful and blessed to 
be able celebrate with our
little family.

It was so nice to have all 
12 Nixon cousins together
for a couple of days!
They played!
They danced!

They colored!
They played games!
And of course spent time on the
 ipads, iphones, and kindles.
We had a yummy steak dinner
& opened presents!
Lottie LOVES
her pony Aunt Roxann &
Uncle John gave her!

“What Does the Fox Say?”
Nina and Preacher

Princess Pajamas!
Trying to get a group 
picture was a little tough!

We are very blessed to have 
the entire family
