Christmas and December update

We have had a wonderful month. I really enjoy my family and all the fun they bring into my life. I don't think I would smile nearly as often without them. I feel truly blessed because of them.
Anyways Christmas!!!!! It was our first Christmas with Amanda and Stephan permanently back so that was nice. We all celebrated Christmas eve together along with my parents. We had our traditional steak and shrimp with pizza for the kiddos. I love family traditions especially when they taste so yummy! We exchanged presents and just had a wonderful night.
Christmas day was wonderful too. Santa came and Kaylie was in heaven. Sophie obviously didn't get the whole thing but enjoyed sticking anything and everything she got in her mouth. We had a nice relaxing day and then went off to more fun Christmas celebrations at Erick's sister's house. We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious dinner and had fun opening presents and being with family.
Overall it was a wonderful day and we sure have enjoyed this month even the torrential downpours that made finishing shopping a challenge!






A couple of things about the pictures:
Sophie got a dog toy from her cousin (He picked it out himself) and she just loves it! (Don't worry Chloe isn't allowed near it.)
Sophie loves her Moby wrap and would be content to be in it all day! I must admit I love it too!
Kaylie really enjoyed helping to decorate the tree, however, most of it that she can reach is undecorated because she loves the ornaments.
Kaylie loves the snowman that is just her size.
