Today marks one of my, if not my ultimate least favorite day of the year. The day after Christmas. a whole year until Christmas again. How depressing! I will try to cure my sadness by posting pictures from this weekend. We had a blast hanging out with friends and family, and I hope you did, too!
Christmas Eve:
baking all day!
My famous Snickers cookies I make every year:
Dad reading the Christmas story from the Bible:
My mom reading “Cajun Night Before Christmas”
Funny story. While my dad took a nap Christmas eve, Bobby painted my dad’s fingernails and he went all day and had no idea. Bobby, mom and me just kept laughing and he didn’t know why!
Christmas morning, opening presents! Bobby got me a new Bible (I got him one too without knowing!) and her got me an AWESOME new zoom lens for my camera!
Happy Birthday, mom! She is a Christmas baby!
Christmas lunch at my cousins house!
Merry Christmas from our family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

ahaha! it was REALLY funny!
ok i am going to go read your post!
i love that your mom reads “the cajun night before Christmas.” we used to read that every Christmas Eve. Happy New Year!
we usually go around the room and all read a page (in cajun accent of course) but we were so tired we made her read haha
Such great photos!
You had a blast, didn’t you? 
yes we did!
So glad you had a wonderful Christmas with your family! Being with family is the best part of the holidays, for sure
yes I love it! got to see some folks that only come every other year which was nice!
Where do you guys live that you have the Cajun Night Before Xmas?! Love it! We’ve lived in Lousiana for 4 years and I’ve seen that book many times. I LOVE the house w/ the tree by the staircase! It’s just perfection! And, that kitchen! Dreamy!
outside of New Orleans in mandeville, LA!
thats my cousins house in Slidell. its gorgeous!
Which lens did you get and for which camera?
I’m looking a new lens for my Canon!
forget what its called but its for my nikon, it goes from 55 mm to 300!!! its huge!
Merry Christmas Heather! I agree that the day after Christmas is the worst!
I got to read the Cajun Night Before Christmas this year, it was at a friend’s house. Too cute!
My Christmas cards said Heaux Heaux Heaux this year, a nod to our time in Cajun Country, but I’m not sure that everyone back home got it!!
thats so cute! I have never seen a card like that. Too funny some ppl didnt get it!
I had to design them myself in photoshop…so I had to learn photoshop..so they definitely looked a bit amateur, but they were fun, and that’s all that matters!
