Opening gifts on Christmas morning

Opening gifts from Santa on Christmas morning

Happy holidays from our house to yours!

Christmas Eve

Ellie had fun leaving cookies for Santa Gnome and an apple and carrot for his reindeer. She also liked her new Christmas pajamas!

Opening gifts

Ellie loved opening a few gifts before Christmas...thanks so much to Shawana, TJ, Rowan, and Elise; to Debbie, Kevin, Quinn, and Olivia; and to Lori, Melissa, Tonya, Thurman, Alexandria, Lacey, Nicholas, and Jaden!

Everyone loves Santa gnome hats!

Clara didn't care for the snow or for the sweater

Before the snowstorm

Happiness is a huge cardboard box

It's snowsuit time!

Thankfully, she likes the snow a little more than she did last year!

(Proof: See here and here.)

More fun with the Santa gnome hat

Ellie loves her very own "Santa gnome" hat!

Our Lego tower acually touched the ceiling!

On Sunday I had my child care kids over for the morning as a holiday gift to their parents. We had a great breakfast (green and red waffles, courtesy of Annette!), made construction paper snowmen, played outside, and constructed this enormous Lego tower. It was a fun morning!
