Though Whitney Bates did celebrate Christmas after her father’s death in 2021, she didn’t go all out as she has in years past. So, this year, she was finally feeling up to decorating again.
On her Instagram Stories this week, Whitney Bates shared with fans that she, Zach, and their children were decorating for Christmas. Because her fourth child, Jadon Carl, arrived in June 2021, this is his first Christmas with the whole house decorated.
One photo features Jadon checking out the Christmas lights and it looks like he’s mesmerized. Whitney wrote, “We didn’t decorate last Christmas since my dad had just passed. So this is J’s first year with all the decor and he LOVES IT!”
Below, you can see some of the sweet snaps Whitney shared. Bradley is eight years old, Kaci is six years old, Khloé is three years old, and Jadon is 17 months old.
The proud mom of four said it was the “sweetest time with our babies.”
Continue to keep Whitney and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they spend the holidays without J.C. Perkins.
