Christmas morning

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful morning here at our own home.

Vivi got a visit from Santa and she was SUPER excited.  Before I let her come in to see all the stuff he brought, she kept saying, "He came?  He bring me presents?  I so excited!"

She is at such a fun age and she really enjoyed all her toys.  She got a Polar Express train set. She also got a doll house, Cinderella doll, and a Rapunzel doll.  Various other odds and ends too. 

 

My parents came over for breakfast and part of the fun!

Christmas Eve at my families house

V all ready for church on Sunday

Spend Monday day at my mom and dad's house.  We opened presents and then ate lunch.  The kids had a great time!  After nap time, it was time to go to our Christmas eve service.

Sweet baby R - she liked her dolls!

 

Merry Christmas to you all!

 

Cookies!

 

Artie was actually home this weekend, so we decided to make Christmas cookies.  I am not going to claim a part in this except for coloring the stars and taking pictures.  Artie did all the making of the dough and icing.  What a great memory for "V"!  Can't wait to do this every year with her.

Parties all around!

"G" had his parties last week as did I.  He is only 2 doors down from me, so I got to go to all his parties since Mommy just had "R".

This was our "Night Before Christmas" day/PJ day.

 

"G" had his party on Thursday and we had fun.

He got a great shirt.

We ate HUGE marshmallows.

 

We had Smores in a jar.

 

This was our annual singing in the hallway.  I have done the singing for this for 11 years now.  I love it and the kids love singing the Christmas carols.

"V" had her party on the same day.  I was not able to go to it, but Artie was. 

Getting a pic with my girl before school...no make up and still tired!

She loves Santa!
