Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus stopped at our house last night! Harrison and Declan were so excited when they came downstairs this morning and discovered that Santa had delivered presents AND had eaten the cookies they left for him! It was a great Christmas filled with lots of joy, love, and laughs.

 The first set of Legos!

 The excitement!

 A short break to test out a few of the new toys.

 "Just what I wanted!!"

 "A Darth Vader, too!!"

 "The animal book I've wanted forever!!"

 Christmas joy.

 "I got a double-sided Inquisitor Star Wars Rebels light saber!"

 One of Declan's favorite gifts from Santa was a cotton candy maker. It was on the top of his wish list and he was not going to wait long to try it out!! It actually worked great and he loved the cotton candy.

 Merry Christmas!!! 

It's a white one here this year and the snow is coming down hard!

Santa Claus Comes Tonight! 12/24/14

 We celebrated Christmas Eve with Jane and Doug tonight, and prepared for the arrival of Santa! Harrison and Declan made a 'Christmas Train' in the living room with all the little chairs from their playroom and gave us all 'rides' to the North Pole and back! Train tickets came with snacks, reading material, and a place to store your luggage. It was really cute! They also put out cookies and milk for Santa and drifted off to dreamland in about 2 minutes flat. Next stop: Christmas morning!

Santa Cow - 12/22/14

"Mooo-rry Christmas!!"

(Yep, Chick-fil-A has a Santa Cow)

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 12/20/14

 I took Harrison downtown today to see "How the Grinch Stole Christmas - The Musical", and we loved it! It was so much fun and the perfect Christmas show for kids. I hope it comes again next year so we can all go! We tried the 'Grinch' cookies and Harrison went home with a new stuffed pal - Max, the Grinch's dog from the show. Such a fun day!
