merry christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve with Brian's family and had a wonderful time catching up with our nieces and nephews! After we spent the day with them, we headed to church for a Christmas Eve service! It was so lovely and my favorite part was all the candles!

My mom and aunt spent the night with us on Christmas Eve so we could all wake up together and see the excitement through Colden and Brindley! It was so fun and exciting. Santa did well this year!

We made a yummy Christmas brunch instead of a dinner this year. This would be the first year we did something different! It was less work, but still so good! We may have found a new tradition!

Setting out goodies for Santa on Xmas Eve

"Twas the Night Before Christmas..." Colden and Brindley get to sleep in the same room every Christmas Eve!

Brindley had her Christmas Pageant today at preschool! We have quite the little singer on our hands! So proud of how well she did and how enthusiastic she was!

Santa!

We went and saw Santa today! The kids look so big sitting in his lap now! The magic in their eyes was priceless! We mailed our Christmas Lists to Santa as well!

Christmas Tree Hunt!

We found our "perfect" tree! We opted for a Frasier Fur this year, this would be our second Frasier and we love it!

We let the kids do a "kid" tree in their play area and then Brian and I do a Starbucks tree! Starbucks is really just a part of our family!

Ladies of the Court

Brindley had a her annual holiday dance recital! This year her group was Ladies of the Court! Darling!

Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year! The bonus was that everyone was healthy and could trick o' treat!

We had a Rapunzel and Captain Jack Sparrow!
