Christmas last year was wonderful as we in our new home. even amidst the craziness of remodeling we settled down and enoyed the holiday season with our family.
shawnae and the kiddos decorated our patio doors with adorable reindeer made from their hand prints!
the first thing we always do is have the kids go get Santa's letter and come back to bed and read it to us. they are allowed to open their stockings (a tradition we had in my family) while waiting for mommy and daddy to come down.
O Christmas tree
we like to set out special presents under the tree that remain unwrapped. this year we gave zach the refinished rocking chair that was mine as a child and olivia got the dollhouse i refinished for her. brady's big gift was a Lego set but we wanted to save that for later.
i thought olivia was going to be SO excited when she first saw her doll house..her reaction was, well...a little less enthused...
later we went down to grammie and grandpa's and they kept the kids for a few days so we could go home and work on house projects, which was great despite me being down for a day with the 24-hour bug!
we went in on a gift with nick and nickie for mom and dad- some snow shoes for them to use up in Sun Valley! they loved them!
zach and brady loved playing with the train
grammie and miss livy.
zachary the little red-nosed reindeer!
