The Christmas Season Began......

the weekend after Thanksgiving for us when we pulled out all the Christmas totes and



Katelin and Evan were sooo excited to play with everything.

Daddy even showed his xmas spirit by relunctantly wearing the shirt we bought him.

And even Miss Kinley wore some christmas jammies!

Oh where oh where could Kinley be???

 

There she is, hiding from me (thanks to her big sis Katelin, who surrounded her with all the christmas animals)

 

Katelin's idea of decorating the tree.

Rylie had been at a friend's so we waited until she got home and we really decorated the tree....

Evan was in a bit of a mood but....

he finally came around and Daddy helped him hang his ornaments.

My favorite people in front of the beautifully decorated tree.

Some well deserved hot chocolate....

 

A few of my favorite xmas decorations.

A few christmas pictures of my favorite little elves.....

 

 

And then just last week we went to see Santa.....

We got in and out with no wait at all and the picture is great! Yes it would have been nice to have Evan smiling and Kinley looking at the camera but after the past 2 years of having Katelin freak out and either bury her face or not be in the picture at all.....this is the best picture EVER! And it was so cute because when we walked up there Evan waves and said "Hi Santa"....it was soooo sweet!
