Christmas Family Pictures over the years!

Many years ago I started a family tradition of getting a family Christmas taken close to Christmas time. My family is always excited about it, but it something fun to look back on over the years!

Pollard Family Christmas Party

The first Saturday of December we always get together with my side of the family for our annual Pollard Christmas party. It is at my parents' house each year and we all love this party every year. It is the best way to start this Christmas season!

Hannah and Jaxon ready to go to the party!

Yummy food!

My oldest niece Kylee. She will be 20 next week!

I'm hungry just looking at that table!

I can't believe how big my kids are getting!

All the grandkids minus one!

The little ones act out the nativity each year! Mary rode in on Ethan!

Tyler got to play Joseph with my cute niece Isabelle.

Hannah was a king!

This is her and cousin Jane. They are the same age and are great friends!

My brother Troy read the story.

Then it was time for the cousin exchange. The kids' favorite part. Hannah got a lot of fun girly things!

Jaxon got Cars stuff! He was so excited!

Joshua loves legos!

Tyler was so excited for his bow and arrow!

Ethan and his goofy movie!

I got a cute apron and perfume and lotion. So fun. My brother forgot to bring Paul's gift so he will get it later. It was a great night! SO much fun! I love my family!

Tyler gets his Wolf Badge

We are so proud of our Ty guy! He worked hard and earned his Wolf badge in Cub Scouts! He was pretty exctied!

For their activity in Cub Scouts, they painted Christmas stars. The kids really enjoyed doing this project!

Simple Christmas Decoratons

One day I would love to have a bigger home to decorate all over, but until then we try to make our home feel like Christmas as much as possible!

This is the advent calendar that we have used for years. Each night the Elves come and bring the kids a treat if they have been good the day prior. We started this tradition when Ethan was 4 and Tyler was 2. Here it is 7 years later and the tradition is still going strong. The kids LOVE it!

This Nativity was our best wedding gift! We love it!

The countdown to Christmas I made at Super Saturday. Of course this was taken a week ago so only 21 days until Christmas. Yay!

The tree, the kids love hurting home after school to turn the lights on!

All of the Stockings!

My Christmas Card holder that I hope will be filled with fun cards!

Merry Christmas everyone!
