Merry Christmas

We had such a fun, memorable and Merry Christmas!  Experiencing Christmas with two almost three year olds was magical!  To see the excitement in their eyes and hear it in their voices made Christmas a success.  Every little detail of Christmas was fun and made such an impression on J&H, from the daily visits from their elf and their nightly conversations with Santa to celebrating Jesus's birthday on Christmas Eve and then of course the actual visit from Santa and his reindeer. 

Before breaking from school for two weeks, J&H performed in the school program.  It was a success, no tears and we even got a wave from both of them.  Jackson had a little accident during naptime so he was rocking an orange pair of wind pants and an airplane shirt, not what I had planned for his Christmas program :)


J&H's elf had a few last minute tricks up his sleeve that the twins loved!

Jackson and Harper kicked off their Christmas break hosting a cookie decorating party with their friends.  I loved being home for the week and being able to do fun activities with the kids and their friends!  Wish I could do it more often!

 
These girls love to dress up!  Hopefully Santa has plans to stock up the dress up box! 


 
Then onto Christmas Eve!  Jackson and Harper started the day by decorating their felt Christmas tree.  Jackson is ALL boy hammering his ornaments onto the tree!
We enjoyed a Christmas Eve service at Life Church then headed over to Auntie Stephanie and Uncle Matt's house for an Italian Christmas Eve feast, games and fun!






Later in the evening we hurried home so we could prepare for Santa!  J&H were so excited to sprinkle their reindeer food in the backyard.  They made sure to keep it close to the pool so the reindeer could get a little drink after they ate their oats :)

Then they picked out cookies to leave for Santa!  Luckily Santa loved their sprinkles and lots of icing.  The sugar high kept him going all night long! 


After J, H and M were snuggled in bed Santa went to work!
And of course all three kids were soundly sleeping into the morning and this mom was wide awake with anticipation!  I was so excited to hear those little footsteps Christmas morning!









The day after Christmas we loaded everyone up and drove out to Guymon for Christmas with the Millers.







 I'm so excited to be able to take walks with all three kids!  This will be a workout!!!
Such a fun week!  I'm so sad for the holiday season to come to an end.  Until next year . . .
