Merry Christmas!!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas. We enjoyed celebrating and spending time together. Here are just a few pictures of our day.


Celia received a LOT of princess stuff! Her grandma Merry made this beautiful princess dress for her and she absolutely loves it.

Conner seems very happy in this picture - I wonder why???

After watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Celia insists on singing around the tree just like the whos do in Whoville. Aaron's mom gave us this Disney Christmas village and it has a tree in it with a circling train. Celia got us to gather around this tree as well as our own big tree. I am just thrilled any time we are all together holding hands -singing words that rhyme with who is even better!!

One more picture of Princess Celia.

Lost Tooth!!

After days of watching his tooth flip flop back and forth while he talked, Max finally lost his tooth in his sleep. He was relieved to know that you can just leave the tooth fairy a note about losing it and she can find it. Now we are waiting on the other middle tooth. We are hoping they are both out by Christmas. Then we can sing him THE song. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Max would get a kick out of that!

It started with a tree

Max made us this wonderful Christmas tree picture at school. He wanted to send a picture of it to his grandparents. While we were taking the picture, Cecelia decided that it could only improve...
with her in it as well. I admit the picture is cutest with them both in it.
Still, every girl wants the spotlight on just her once in awhile. Celia is not shy about that desire.

Merry Christmas

This is our Christmas tree this year. The kids and I put it up a few weeks ago and I don't think we want to take it down - ever. What a cozy time of the year.

Last night we went to the MomsClub Christmas party and had a great time. When we first got there, Celia got her hands on a whole bunch of balloons. She was a very happy girl......until she had to share. Luckily, she got over it and the party continued.

Celia is very fond of Santa. Waiting in line was difficult, but boy was it worth it. Santa brought her a light up wand!!!

Max was happy to see Santa as well. However, he later explained to me that it wasn't really Santa but actually Christian's daddy. We talked about how nice it was of Christian's daddy to help Santa out this year.

You can probably tell by Conners face that he was thrilled to get his picture taken with Santa. I did force him to take this picture because.........

when I tried to get him and his friend Zach to pose for a picture together, this is what I got!



We were so happy that Aaron got off work in time to come party with us! Celia was very proud to show off her wand. Not long after this picture she was asleep on daddy's lap.

WE LOVE SANTA!!!

The kids finally got to visit Santa today. They were soooo excited. Celia just kept staring at Santa, and as some of you might expect, Max kept talking to Santa. I love comparing the Santa pictures from year to year. They grow so fast, and I am so thankful to be able to watch them do just that.
