All the Christmas Shenanigans!

Ok, so I warned you that there would be a picture OVERLOAD some time this week, and here it is! There is just a MESS of everything that went on between my last post (before Christmas), until sometime last week! So here you go!

My new piece of artwork for the entryway that my lovely husband bought for me for Christmas!
Jack found himself in quite a mess and nearly got his head stuck while trying to get out!

Berkley made a Gingerbread house with Aunt Sara on Monday, the 20th.

Jack was totally excited about shopping for Christmas presents, can't you tell?!
My coffee filter wreath found itself a pefect place on the wall beside the Christmas tree!
Berkley was all ready to get her ears pierced like a big girl (Friday, the 31st)....
And here she is with them done! Don't worry she had a sucker and was totally content after the initial shock of it all! (But I was totally honest with her and told her that it would probably hurt and she wanted to do it anyway)
I went through all of Berkley's clothes that she has outgrown from the very beginning and this was the GIVE AWAY pile for our friends, the Morgans! (No fear, I did keep some special outfits that I would LOVE to see another little girl in someday; if of course I can convince my hubby of it!)
Berkley did some hairdressing before Christmas
Oh my handsome man! (Christmas Eve day at the Meadows)
His little nook under the pool table where his music table was!
I LOVE THIS ONE!!
Berk and cousin Wesson taking a ridei n the laundry basket!
Our pot of beans that I menioned in my post yesterday!
And the rolls have risen!!
And then they were delicately cooked to perfection!
Thad's Dutch Oven MASTERPIECE!
Uncle Coco and Wesson Rhyder!
Enjoying the wrapping paper!
Check out this physique!
Couldn't care less about the presents, just the wrapping paper, bows and boxes!
Bow fixation!
Ok, maybe he cared a little about the cool toys he got!
Trouble with a CAPITAL "T"! (Yes, that is Jack's pacifier that Wesson gladly STOLE out of Jack's mouth...I told you the kid is LAID BACK and didn't care one bit!!)
Berkley using her new "beauty set" to try and curl Wesson's hair!
We couldn't break it to Jack that in the long run, he probably will NOT want to be carrying around a heart-shaped pink mirror!
Future hairdresser?
Sweet girl helping give cousin Cohen a bath!
Didn't get a picture of the tree BEFORE opening the presents, but here is a GLIMPSE into the disaster that followed on Christmas morning!
The three big Meadows cousins! The boys I'm sure will be trouble enough, but with Berk as their ring leader; WATCH OUT WORLD!
All four of the Meadows cousins, take ONE....
An da little better on take TWO!
Berkley playing with her new vacuum that Santa left at Nana and Papa's because Berkley wasn't awake yet so he had to drop it off there! (at least that's the story Berk was told by Papa)
A few additions to her kitchen!! And a Magnadoodle!
High five for the cool football chair that Santa left at Nana and Papa's!
And a big boy to sit in that chair!
Playing with the Nana in the doll house that Santa left at their house!
One day after Christmas, I decided to go take some pictures of Berk....
One of my favorites, unedited...I edited it in Photoshop and made it look "antiqued" and love how it turn out, but will save those posts for later!
Another favorite, unedited
I love this little shadow
JUMP FOR JOY!!
Oh my mischeivous boy!
Straight-haired Berk!
You can almost see his top teeth; oh wait, that's just cracker that my child has shoved into his mouth uncontrollably!
Oh big boy!
Hello BLUE EYES!
Sweetest girl!
Oh the joys of having a boy who likes to put EVERYTHING in his mouth!
Oh those eyes!
Repeat previous comment!
Sweetest boy!
Once again, everything MUST go into his mouth. I guess he thinks that he might miss some INCREDIBLE taste experience if it all doesn't go into his mouth!
