Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!! Santa came to our house!! Natalie set out milk and cookies for Santa and we even put some food outside for the reindeer. She woke up about every hour, just to see if it was time to get up I think. Julia didn't sleep good either, so a very tired Mommy and Daddy were glad that both girls were in a good mood this morning!! I got Julia up first, and the first gift I got was a stinky diaper! I had the girls in matching PJ's, but Julia's had to go right in the wash...so just imagine them in matching PJ's...they would have been so cute!!

Santa's goodies.

Julia's favorite things were the cards.

Christmas Eve

What a crazy day this has been! We have had so much fun today though. Natalie and I started it off getting donuts and picking up a few things at the store. We then watched the Polar Express, worked on a project and made some cookies for Santa!

Natalie's favorite part is the sprinkles.


Julia helping with the cookies.

The finished product. I think Santa will be pleased!

Natalie taste testing.

After the cookies we got dressed and headed to Mi Mi's to open gifts! Julia and Natalie had a great time and we all got spoiled!! It was lots of fun.

Christmas Program Photos

This isn't from the Christmas program, but I love this little outfit on Julia!

Singing Jingle Bells.


Singing, "A Chubby Little Snowman"
This is where they say, "And what do you suppose?"

"Looking for his lunch"

Singing, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"

The best part, decorating cupcakes!


Yumm!!

Crawling!!

Here is Julia's first real movement!! She is getting better and better everyday! By the time Christmas gets here she will be a pro. Her naps have been challenging as she want's to practice crawling and sitting up instead of sleeping. Luckily by the end of the day she has usually wore herself out!

Christmas Program

Today was Natalie's first ever Christmas Program. We kind of knew what was coming because she has been singing these songs for a while, but it was priceless to see 9 three year olds sing together. What a wonderful way to start the Christmas holiday!! Before the program, there was a quick visit by Santa and Natalie even sat on his lap, I was so proud!
