Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was full making cookies, gifts, and getting ready for Santa.  I got my Christmas gift early and it was exactly what I wanted, a kitchenaid mix.  YAY!!, I finally got it!  Before the kids went to bed so Santa could come we had to make cookies and make sure the reindeer found the house.  The girls put reindeer food out in the yard with glitter, now they can see the house.  They also got to make sugar cookies for Santa and everyone helped.  Ava and Reagan had a blast decorate the cookies and knew exactly which ones Santa would love.  Now we are ready for the Bid Guy, Santa!

Christmas Lights

We are in Ohio and our first stop is Dayton with the Wises.  A couple of days before Christmas we decided to go see some Christmas lights.  The kids were so excited and it was really nice to see all of their faces light up.  Believe it or not the night turned out to be fairly warm.  That means the kids could ride some fun rides.  I wish you could hear their laughs in these pictures, they were so happy.  We all had a great time and it was a perfect family Christmas tradition.

Ava's Christmas Play

Ava had her first Christmas play at school couple of days before we leave for Ohio.  It was a pajamas theme so all the kids wore their PJs.  Needless to say it was an easy morning:).  The kids preformed a couple of songs, for the most part Ava sung some of them.  I think her favorite one was jingle bells.  It was fun watching her sing and Reagan was so into watching Ava.  It was the cutest!  Here's to a good holiday season!!

Decorating Our Tree

Our Christmas is decorated and we had the help of little elves this year:)  Ava and Reagan lasted longer then we thought they were going to and all the ornaments ended up mostly at the bottom.  They loved unwrapping them, it was all new and exciting.  We loved talking about all the different ornaments and the memories.  It was a special time for us to be able to share that with the girls.  Merry Christmas!

St. Nick came to our house!

It was an exciting day around the house because St. Nick came and brought goodies!  Of course he left candy and some Frozen items. Ava and Reagan had huge smiles on their faces and just loved the surprise.  From the looks of the stockings they were good little girls:)

Our Christmas Tree

We got a "real" tree this year!!  Since we had the the room and we were in town, why not go big.  The girls thought we were going to cut it down, don't think we are ready for that just yet.  Instead we went to Smolak Farm and picked one out from the lot.  It was a little cold but we had lunch and then looked around the farm.  It was a nice start to the holiday season!
