Christmas Eve Pictures

Kailey has been so patient all month long and finally was able to open her first present on Christmas Eve, she was very excited!

Both of my girls love cooking. This year Kailey went out with her Grandma on

Christmas Eve while we made dinner, so Gianna stayed home and made her first lasagna. She did an amazing job!

My friend Kim is starting a photography business. She took a lot of our friends Christmas card pics and did a great job. On Christmas Eve at church she was taking snapshots as we walked in. Here are the shots she got.

Making Fudge and Feeding Reindeer

The girls were huge helpers this year and made candycane fudge with me.

They broke the candycanes and wore adorable matching aprons that my mom made Julie

and I when we were kids.

On Christmas Eve we sprinkled "reindeer food" all over our front yard. Nate HATES glitter, it is one of his few pet peeves. The girls and I of course thought it was great. They were again in matching outfits that my mom made. We put milk and

cookies out for Santa, and got ready for the big day.

Preschool Party

Today was Kailey's Preschool Christmas Party. We decorated cookies, listened to a story, and the kids sang Away in a Manager. Gianna loved being able to go to school. Here are some pics of the day.....

MOMS Club Party

Today was our annual Moms Club Christmas Party. Gianna loved it. We had one of the Mom's playing the piano and we all sang Christmas Carols, G was dancing the entire time. Kailey got into right as the party was ending, but had fun either way.

When the party was over K kept saying, "let go to Super Target." She says that kind of a lot, and we did need a few things so to kill a little time we decided to go. (for those of you who don't live her, or know the area, we have no grocery stores within 20 minutes or so, so Super Target is where we buy everything!) It was a rainy day, so getting coffee and walking around the Christmas isle sounded fun. (yes I know I am a dork for admitting that!) When we got in the car to go she was so funny, she said, "let's go to Super Target and buy some umbrellas!" She was right, we don't have one, because we really don't ever need them. The girls had a blast walking around the store with their matching umbrellas, but of course the fun didn't stop there. We haven't put them down yet!
