Christmas 2012

Okay so I am a few months behind but some of you just got your Christmas cards as well!  Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday and it is even more special with kids!  Every year my mom and dad host a Christmas eve party with friends and family so that is like the beginning of our Christmas.  We look forward to it every year.  We are always there late and this year was no different.  We left about 10:00 and the kiddo's fell asleep in the car on the way home.  We still had to put our Santa Key our because we do not have a chimney and we had to leave Milk and Cookies for Santa!  Yes we still do that:)  Here is the best picture we could get of the kids and the key.  Edith was so done and ready for bed!

We are still lucky that our kids are little and do not feel the need to get up super early!  I wish I could say the same for my hubby:)  When they finally did wake up we headed downstairs to see what Santa had left us.  They were at good ages this year!

 

 

Waiting for the okay to come down!

Seeing what Santa left for them

Edith was more excited about her new Princess book than the super cute baby that she got 

Seeing what was in their stocking

Elliott got his first Pocket Knife!  Do not worry, it is plastic.  It can however cut through cardboard:)

Santa was even able to find a Storm Trooper and Darth Vader sweatshirt

Wes' parents game over for a little bit and Elliott was excited to show Grandpa his pocket knife

After we had Christmas at our house we packed up the kiddo's in new jammies and headed to Mimi & Papa's (my parents) and did Christmas with them and my brother and his family.  It is always a fun time when we get together.  There were even more presents and the ones that Elliott was really looking for!

Edith got an amazing doll house from Santa

All he wanted were Switch and Go Dino's.  Santa did not bring any to our house and you would have thought it was the end of the world.  He did however bring them to Mimi & Papa's:)

We got a Dress up box from Auntie & Kuncle and could not wait to try stuff on!

Finishing opening up presents as a princess

Daddy playing with Elliott's toys:)

Kuncle is super excited to share his Star Wars obsession with his nephew and Elliott is happy to help!

Once again it was a very quick Christmas and a very memorable one.  It always seems to take forever to get here and then is over in a flash.  We are looking forward to many more Happy Christmas's!
