Messy Tradition!

The Barnes' family tradition is becoming a very messy one! Jonathan and I love Christmas time and enjoy our traditions that we have brought from two totally separate lives into our own family. One of the traditions that we enjoy is decorating for Christmas and the night that we decorate we make a bunch of finger foods to eat. As we were getting ready to to do our decorating last night (a little later this year due to Jon's surgery), I was in the kitchen cooking. Angel was enjoying the food as I was making it. Here are a couple pictures of her enjoying herself during our "messy" tradition!



Can you imagine what she will look like on her birthday!?! As messy as she was, she's still cute as can be! She really enjoyed smearing the food all over her face; she enjoyed having her picture taken even more...she loves to cheese for the camera!

These are the moments I treasure! And someday Angel will be embarrassed by them! We are looking forward to a fun filled Christmas! We will be starting our celebrations with family gatherings, parties, and fun with friends...all beginning this weekend and continuing through the New Year! Hope this Christmas is as special for all our friends and family as it is for us!! We love you all!
