christmas already?!?

Wasn't it just summer? Where does the time go?

We have already had a few Christmas celebratory moments. The Christmas parade was not long after Thanksgiving. We got to see Abby Pea march by in her cute Santa hat really quickly! Sitting there for an hour just to see your pea march by for three seconds? Yep, and we enjoyed all three seconds of it! :)





The Christmas parade was really cool. The Christian academy here definitely had the best Christmas float ever! It was a nativity with the kids as the characters and the rest of the little peas were dressed as angels and singing. I was trying to hold back the tears; it was so darn cute and special! Anyhoo, back to my sweet peas!

Anne Pea had her band concert the other day. I couldn't hear her by herself, but she was definitely the cutest one up there! I had forgotten my phone, so I don't have video of it {Abby had her phone; I will have to try to get the video from it.}. But I got a sweet pic of her afterward!


We also had Christmas with my parents and my brother's sweet family. I love having my nieces around! Eeeekk! Opening presents is so much fun with the littlest peas!


Nina and Papa D's beautiful tree! I snuck a peek and a pic!


I love seeing these little peas with their messy hair and in their jammies opening presents! So cute!


Rylee Pea was the little elf passing presents out to everyone {with a little help from the bigger peas}!



Someone was awfully good this year to get such a big present!


Preslee Pea opening a present!



Rylee Pea must have been a good girl! She has a big pea-resent!



Rylee had to help Anne Pea with one of her presents!


I know I was supposed to crop out all of the big peas, but I just love this pic of Rylee and her Daddy cuddling together!


Preslee Pea is our wild child! She reminds me so much of Anne when she was that age! Haha! Such a cute, sweet mess!



And the whole Barrett-Penprase clan! This almost never happens for us to all be together! Especially including King Pea! So thankful he was here with us this year! There will be more to come! It's not even Christmas yet!
