What a fun season it was! Ok, here goes...
Earlier than we ever have before, we pulled out the Christmas decorations. With two kids this year, it was sort of tornado-like. Jack was into EVERYTHING! Kate, of course, wanted to play with all the breakables.

Somehow, (it might have been two in the morning when these pictures were taken. ha!) it all came together.
For the first time ever, we got a fake tree. We ended up finding one on Craigslist for a price that was too good to pass up. Honestly, we spent less than we would have if we had gotten a real one.
We did lots of Christmas crafts this year since that is Kate's favorite thing to do these days.
(She spit on Rudolph's nose because she wanted to make it "shiny". ha!)
We had fun with this little guy, who was lovingly named Alice.

A well thought out name for a boy elf.
We drove around and looked at Christmas lights. We found this crazy house:
A snow day was even thrown in the mix, and the kids and I enjoyed a quiet day at home. We spent most of the day playing in the basement playroom and Kate helped me put together gifts for my students.
The next day, Mimi brought Kate and Jack up to school for my Christmas party. Kate belongs in a classroom. She was on cloud nine.
Can you spot her there in the front?
We took a trip to see Gammy, Gampy, and Stuart in Kansas while they were on their way to Texas for Christmas.
We went to Bass Pro to see Santa.
On Christmas Eve, we slip slided to the candlelight service at church and then came back to Mimi and Papa's for chili and opening pajamas. All of Julie's girls were there, and Kate was thrilled.
Long story short about those jammies, I grabbed them last minute at Target. I thought they had snowman faces on them. Turns out they were skulls. My baby boy wore skull jammies on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we woke up slowly and even laid in bed for awhile.
There was BEAUTIFUL snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas that was seriously magical. After opening presents, we went out on the deck (because we are wimps) and "played" in the snow.
Kate and I made a sorry excuse for a snowman.
I think Jack ate two whole cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.
After it was all said and done, the house looked like a bomb had gone off.
The rest of the day was spent with both sides of our families and we had a blast.
Next up: New Year's pictures!
