love the purple! you rock it, girl.
I'm going to spend the 24hr drive back to Tx crying that I didn't get to see you :(
(Worse that I'm totally to blame)
Where will you go on vaca? I am a big fan of a trip instead of gifts...I have not convinced my family however :(
Looks like FUN! I kind of love celebrating Christmas multiple times among all the families.
so fun - love the hair! Christmas 3 times! Your kids must be thrilled! Juggling family and holidays can be so busy!!
Love the Christmas sleighs and the hair! You are a rock star!!
normal is boring.
And before I scrolled down far enough for the ever changing hair I stopped at the blue hair shot and said to myself wasn't her hair a different color earlier on?
Looks like you have a great time together and that is awesome.
Love the purple!!

That looks like a lot of fun! I loooooove the purple, looks awesome!!
Yay! I love it! It looks and sounds like so much fun!
I love that you do vacation in place of gifts... we're at the stage of setting up traditions right now (one toddler) and want to de-emphasize gift-giving. Fun traditions!
Looks like FUN!! Wow purple...I was sorta hoping for mistletoe green :)
This is so awesome! Are you one of 4 sisters? I am as well! Your family seems great - and I love the holiday tradition that you guys have!!
I love that you do trips rather than presents. What a great gift to give your children!

No wonder J is always smiling. It's like he has got a new wife every couple of days! ;-)
