Our Christmas

Our Christmas began with the traditional throwing of reindeer food.  The kids always like doing that.  We also made mint chocolate chip cookies, Reagyn made Santa a ring and left him a note.

 Reagyn asked for the Indian American Girl doll and her teepee. 

 Karson asked for a new gun! 

And yes...we got up early as usual.  They kids enjoyed seeing what Santa brought.

Christmas at Nana & Papoo's

Christmas at Nana and Papoo's was different.  We all really missed Papoo.  It was a nice day but Dad's absence was so obvious.  Little did we know or maybe little did we admit he'd be gone from this Earth soon.  :(  But the kids still gave us plenty to smile about.  Opening presents is always exciting!    We managed to get some good pics.

 



Christmas at Mamme & DadDad's House

Christmas at Mamme & DadDad's was a fun time as usual.  Being together and just hanging out is the best!  The kids would probably say the presents were the best.  Mamme did not disappoint!  The kids got what they asked for. :)

 Mamme also bought gingerbread houses for each one to decorate...and they didn't even have to share!  They got to decorate their own however they wanted to.  The girls loved it.  Boys weren't too interested...not surprising.

We definitely missed two very special people...Memaw Billie and Pa Dale.  But I know we will see them again one day!

Nutcracker with my girl

Reagyn wanted to see the Nutcracker this year.  I was super excited about spending the afternoon with her.  The performace was awesome as usual!

 

School Christmas Parties

Christmas parties at school are always fun!

 

 Karson was SOOO excited that I wanted a picture...but it's the last Christmas party at school he will have.  sniff sniff
