Christmas Eve

We ordered breakfast from IHOP instead of eating there to save a little time, we had a lot to do to get ready for Christmas day 

the kids got a Christmas eve box to open in the afternoon 

new pj's for their American girl dolls 

time for our Christmas Eve snowman pizza 

we watched 8 Bit Christmas while we ate our pizza  

time to FaceTime with gramma and papa 

I was holding the iPad while they opened their gifts, so I didn't get pics of them opening 

we set out cookies for Santa and said goodbye to our elves 

the kids laid out their Santa sacks 

we read Twas the Night Before Christmas 

the kids always want to sleep together on Christmas Eve 

 Radley is waiting for Santa to come 

December Fun

It's been a fun and busy month for us. Here are a few things we have been up to......

my friend Maite was in town from Utah, so we met up on the 23rd for brunch at Broken Yolk 

after I got home from brunch, the girls and I did a ton of Christmas baking 

Maddie made an ugly sweater cake 

we had a secret Santa delivery 

our elves brought the kids gingerbread houses 

on the 19th we celebrated Hannah's 5th birthday with a spa day 

the girls and I went to Knott's on the 12th 

dinner at Rock N Brews 

Maddie had her first dance recital on December 11th. She did such a great job 

our friend Monique hosted a boutique at her house. Maddie made some jewelry and sold it
