Christmas Eve

Best.Christmas.Ever. Kids were into it, we were into it, even Rigs was pretty excited! So much magic through their eyes. I hope that we can keep this spirit for many years to come. We went to a beautiful church service on Christmas Eve for a kids oriented service. The pastors had the kids sit in front for stories and songs. Both kids were super good and sat quietly the whole time. We followed that with dinner and gifts at Ah & Pa's. Ah changed things up by doing her world famous fried chicken...it was great and a nice break from the traditional turkey! We then opened gifts and the kids got some really cool gifts and new bikes. No hand me down's for Audrey...I was already to get my pink spray paint out for Chase's old bike :D

 Slumber party in our room :)

Annual Cookie Making Day!

One of my favorite activities from the holidays...I SO love baking cookies with the fam! This year we got to get all super cute in our pi's thank's to Auntie Aye. It was cute and we were super comfy while we baked! xoxo

Nutcracker

Such a beautiful performance...and a great date day with Ah and Chase. Auds is still too young to go but Chase truly enjoys the show. Thank you Ah for another year at the Nutcracker!

Naughty Elf

The elf made quite an impression on both kids this year but Chase was seriously over the moon about his return. He was literally giddy with laughter looking for him every morning and couldn't wait to tell us what he had done wrong. Thankfully, the elf was super on it this year and never once "forgot" to go back to the north pole and change locations!

PJ Day

Chase got to wear PJ's on the day before school got out...he wore his grinch pi's from Ah and got to watch the Grinch too. You know he thought that was the coolest :D
