December FUN

December is always a busy month between holiday activities at both home and school.  In-between all of that there are plenty of other things that happen day to day prepping for the holidays, Florida and trying to recover from all the hustle of the month. 


Cookie, our elf, never lets us down.  He shows up every year!


We sneak in a lazy evening whenever we can. 


Someone is always having a baby at our house.  It is so funny to hear them play this game!  


The advent concert is always a favorite of ours.




Audrey made a toothbrush out of blocks


and always dresses her sister up when she is playing. 


Claire likes to walk like a crab.


The big girls are very popular in the evenings. 


Emmerson has figured out the sleeping in braids trick. 


Donuts with Dads


These blocks are the best!  We have family contests to see who can make the best creation. 


Sweet girl is starting to look so big! 


I got to go to Claire's class party. 


It will never stop amazing me to walk out of the bathroom to see this...Everyone just waiting on me! 


We got to see Anna and Owen before we left for Florida.  We played Claire's new game with them. 


The kids loved it.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning is crazy but so fun with this many little girls! 


The calm before the storm!


The girls wait while we check to see if Santa came.


Stockings




Then presents...


























Santa heard their requests- bath toys, American Girl doll and ballet slippers, a violin, and a keyboard.

Christmas Eve

Santa comes to our house a day early so we can head to the beach.  Our Christmas Eve is one of our favorite days.  We stay in pjs all day.  We play games, have a big dinner, and prepare for Santa. 












Leaving treats for the reindeer.
