What a fun month we had leading up until Christmas! It is so magical for the kiddos and they are completely filled with excitement. Kerrington has been asking every morning "is today Christmas mommy?" We keep explaining to her that we will whoop it up really big when the day comes that she'll know it for sure. And that whooping up is finally here with Christmas Eve! It was just the four of us this year. After saying goodbye to our friends around lunchtime, we made some (more) cookies, had a rest and then got on our fancy clothes for church on Christmas Eve. After the service we rode around looking a lights and even got out and toured around one of the cooler houses. Then it was back home for snacky food (kids were thrilled w/ fancy crackers and carrots from a veggie tray), putting out cookies for Santa, opening their annual slippers, reading The Night Before Christmas and then heading off to bed!
Off to church!
In leu of a church selfie, we did a car selfie (while parked of course)
Tacky lights!
One nice picture...
...then a tickle starts...
...and picture taking is quickly is over (yet w/ more "real" smiles than the first).
Putting the finishing touches on some cookies for Santa after a nice bath
Getting his plate ready
Writing a quick thank you
Santa will like this spread I think!
New slippers...Jaguars and kitties!
Again posing for one nice picture...
