The Christmas season was such an incredible time at our house this year!
Both Allyn and Hollis are at such a wonderful age to understand Christmas and seeing excitement through their eyes is priceless!
This year, we adopted an Elf on the Shelf. Allyn named him Rick. Rick was quite the mischievous elf. Every night getting in to stuff around the house. The girls would wake in the morning with the anticipation of what Rick had done the night before! Too fun!
We were able to spend some time with my dad which I know him and the girls both enjoyed. Then we had our big family gathering at our house the next day. It was fun to have all our family in our house! Kids were every where and the house was a wreak when everybody left, but it was great!
Christmas Eve, we tried to keep some tradition going and went to church at North Metro with Dianne. Then instead of going to her house for dinner she headed up to our house for our traditional steak dinner. We made cupcakes and sang happy birthday to Jesus. Allyn got a kick out of doing this since they really worked hard at instilling this message at church and school. Dianne spent the night Christmas Eve night and was able to celebrate Christmas morning with us. The girls were so excited!!! Around lunch my mom, Mark, Abbi and grandparents stopped by to see what Santa brought.
The big request from Santa was a Disney Princess car which he delivered. The girls LOVE it!!!!! Allyn has really gotten good at steering and driving! Hollis sits as a passenger and waves like a pageant queen to all the cars that drive by! Oh Geez!!!!!
