Christmas

We had a nice, quiet Christmas Eve. I think the kids had their jammies on at 5:00 or so. They were so excited. We had a quick dinner and then drove around and looked at Christmas lights. We read from the Bible and then drank some hot chocolate. We put out the cookies and milk, and then off to bed. The boys slept terrible. Mom and dad got very little sleep, but we were still happy for Christmas.

We had a great Christmas overall. We are so blessed. I love these kids and it is so fun to watch them grow and progress. They are very sweet and happy. Until next year, Merry Christmas!

Here Comes Santa Claus

Today Anna, Lily, Jack, and I visited a local nursery. They had a very cute Santa, live reindeer, and hay rides. They had many beautiful Christmas trees. All of this was free. They wanted you to buy a tree or at least and an ornament. We didn't buy anything, but we had a great time. Jack fell asleep while we were waiting to see Santa. I just love this picture. So cute!

Here is another picture of him napping while visiting with Santa.

The reindeer were very fun, but we didn't want to get too close with those big horns.

We (especially Lily) had fun on the hayride.

I am so glad we visited this Christmas wonderland. Who knew such fun things were less than 5 minutes from our house.
