We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas has come and it brought visitors!  We were so fortunate to have Mimi and Pop Pop come visit for a week and for Uncle C and Aunt A to be here for Christmas Day!  There were lots of exciting preparation for the holiday fun!

     

Little Buddy was excited for his last day of school before break!  They got to wear pajamas and watch Polar Express!





Lots of fun with Mimi and Pop Pop in town!



Again, our little chef was ready to go for the holidays.  Christmas cooking, commence!

     

     

First up, truffles with Mimi!



     

Then some candy-kissed twists...



     


...then peanut butter blossoms...


     


     

...and of course, cut outs!  





  

She even got to make a cherry pie with Pop Pop!



Then time for some Christmas crafting and wrapping!



         

Gingerbread house painting!




Little Sweetie did a great job learning to wrap!



And, of course, we had to go for our official Santa picture!


Ho ho ho!




Sometimes Christmas prep wipes you out!


Soon enough it was Christmas Eve and we had a special visitor!

     

Love this sweet tradition each year.




Little Buddy is ready for Christmas to come!




     


Putting treats out for Santa and his reindeer!




     

It's Christmas morning!



        

Enjoying their presents!



         

        

Trying out their new bikes!



     


Hanging out with Uncle C and Aunt A!



         

Enjoying a fire in the new fire pit.



We had a lovely Christmas and now we're heading into 2019.  Our New Year's celebrations are pretty mild with two kids, but we are ready to embrace whatever the new year brings.  May it bring more wonderful memories!

     

Little Buddy was happy to have some sparkling cider, a fun hat, and some Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!



     

Little Sweetie throwing confetti to celebrate!




Love every moment with these kiddos!


See you in 2019,
