The tree has been swept away and the decorations packed up, but the memories remain of this special Christmas. They just keep getting better if you ask me.
Christmas 2012 {a short film}
The shots:
Pre-church on the Eve…



Dad reading his annual “Twas the night before Christmas”…

Kids were nestled all snug and Bruce made some amazing seafood risotto…

Christmas morning…

{love the anticipation shot}
The loot:


{Eve was maybe MOST excited about gumby…kate got one last year and she’s pined for one ever since…you’ll see him come up a few times in the movie as well}

{her train table was another hit}

{big sis is always so good about taking lil sis through her gifts, it’s too too sweet}

{kate picked this out all by herself}

{kate’s big gifts…gymnastics “set up” has been used already 20 + hours}
Off to Spartanburg…




{papa’s present, a new pup…jackson}





{kate picked out a thermometer for her papa}
Fun times at Papa & Bebop’s and then off to see Gee Gee…

BUT, the girls barely got through giving Gee Gee her Willette Yearbook when poor M.E. developed a full-blown stomach bug :(. So…the Willettes had to cut short our Christmas with Gee Gee and head back to Charlotte Christmas night (was NOT in the plan, but didn’t want to catch the bug/ be in their way).
However, the girls wanted to try out Andy and Uncle Ben’s new drums before we jetted…
Merry Christmas 2012 to All!!!






Sounds like an awesome time minus th stomach bug. Love the “don’t mess with it- no one is allowed” from Kate to eve. Totally sounds like my house. Great together 98% of the ti,e but there are some things that are off limits!
