White Christmas

It was a BEAUTIFUL Christmas, this year!

We had Christmas Eve at Grandma Lisa's house:

Best Christmas Decoration EVER:

We had a super delicious Christmas Eve Dinner, then we did a Find and Fill Nativity activity:

Then the girls did their dance routine (see an earlier post for the video), here they are in their dance outfits:

The boys wanted their turn to show off and dance for everyone:



 Then, after a few carols, it was FINALLY time for presents!!!

Our kids were melting down left and right. When we finally got home and got them into bed, all three of them went RIGHT to sleep and slept the whole night! It was a Christmas miracle!

We had Christmas morning at our own house with just us. It was SO nice! 

Our tree "pre-Santa":

 Stockings:

Rachel's Santa Present:

Maliya's Santa Present:

Katie's Santa Present:

 And a doll with a stroller for each of the girls:

Our tree "post-Santa":

 Our front year in the beautiful snow!

Christmas Morning!!! Katie was the first to rise, at almost 8 o clock!

I tried to get a picture of all of them in their new jamies. This was the best I could get. Anybody look sleepy to you???

I bought the night gowns and Katie's 3 piece jamie suit on clearance at the end of summer, then I made fleece pants for the older girls. They were so excited about them, that they said they would love me forever and always mind me because I made those pajamas for them! Haha!

Brian came and slept the last few hours in the girls's room. We might start a Christmas Eve sleep over tradition...we will see.

The girls were SOOO excited about everything they got! It was so fun to watch them!

Look, Santa ate the cookies and ice-cream!

 

 Dad got a Pinterest inspired road map T shirt with little cars for the kids to give him a back rub.

Then we had apple cobbler for breakfast. Yum!

 After all the presents were opened and the kids had some much needed rest time, we went and spent the afternoon at Grandpa Myler's house. It was a wonderful Christmas!!!
