First White Christmas!

My first white Christmas! It was magical! We are so blessed by God who comes down to us to lavish us with the gift of His Son!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

It's Almost Christmas!

We spent 2 fun days with Nana...just waiting for Santa to come!

Aunt Holly and Nana

Aunt Holly brought Nana for Christmas! We told the kids that Nana was coming 2 days before Christmas, and they were so excited to have her here!

Playing with Aunt Holly's gifts. Each one received color wonder markers and coloring books and their own bags to go with it.

Christmas Lights Downtown

My favorite Christmas tradition is taking the kids to see the Christmas lights in the buildings downtown. There's a Starbucks across the street, and we take them to get hot chocolate at the mid-way point...they LOVE it and as soon as the lights are on display Anna and Noah start to ask when we are going to see them.

It was very, very cold but fun all the same!

Christmas Crafts

One of our traditions is to make ornaments for the tree each year. This year they made Christmas wreaths.

Noah used the bright green dot paint...Anna was determined to use her watercolor green which didn't show up at all!

But, they were very proud to hang them up on our tree!
