Merry Christmas from the Reece Family 2015

We went to the Festival of Trees, and the kids saw Santa

 Then we went home and decorated our trees!

On (our) Christmas Eve the kids got new Pj's like they do every year

Then they got to open their stockings and fall asleep to Christmas Movies!

Mike surprised me with one of my gifts also! 

A painting from my very favorite artist Thomas Kinkade!

 After opening presents and having a lazy morning at home playing we went to my brother and sister in law's home for a family Christmas Party! 

It was so much fun and so heartwarming for my kids to get to be with Grandma

On Christmas we didn't have Kade this year, so most presents were opened on our family Christmas the day before. 

 However we couldn't help but spoil our younger babies a little more! 

 We hosted Christmas Dinner at our House on Christmas

I didn't know that many presents could fit in our living room! 

My family is so giving it is fun to watch!

Then when we got Kade back we had Christmas with Michael's Family 

where the kids got spoiled even more! 

Needless to say we are very blessed with family and things, and want for nothing! 

Thank you to Jesus for this time of year that we can remember 

the true gift that he gave by coming to this world to save us!

I'll Be Home For Christmas...

James's 1st Christmas was great!

The night before the kids made a trap for us around the tree then passed out on the office floor waiting to catch us.

 They missed us walking by with a 60 inch smart TV, hiding a PlayStation in the TV stand, and a tree full of presents.

                       

 The kids woke up way to early... 

The Scream about the TV got us up! 

Then they played with each other while

 Daddy and I made breakfast!

Then we opened gifts!

They were all super happy with their gifts... 

 Jamie really liked the wrapping ;)

The older kids found PlayStation controllers in their stockings, and the spent the next hour playing games :) 

 And Jamie got a bunch on new toys to hang on his "play station" :)

Then we had them get dressed for the day, and sit down for their 

Biggest Gift!!

 It took them a minute to figure out that what they were reading was...

 The building and lot plans for...

They were so excited and immediately 

wanted to go see where it is! 

James was asleep by the time we got to the site, so he isn't in this picture. I plan to post updates as it is built over the next few months, so I am sure he will make it in one :)

2014 was a dream really, but now I am so excited for this next chapter for the Reece Family! 

Please keep us in your prayers the next few months... 

next week especially as we move out, Mike leaves, and we break ground on our home all at the same time!

Oh Christmas Tree

We put out our Christmas Decor early this year, 

and definitely on the smaller level than most years.

We have big plans for late December then Mike deploys in early January,

 so we don't want Christmas Decor getting in the way :)

Big brother and big sister are so in love with their little Santa 

And they decided to share the duty of putting up the Star this year! 

Our Baby Smarty Pants learned this week that if you get it in your hand

 then you can get it in your mouth :)

After decorating the tree we made gingerbread houses... 

This was our 1st year trying the pre-made kits... GROSS!

So we had a redo and made them the right way lol :)

Then we watched a movie while having Coco and Cookies :)

And little man took a nap on daddy :)
