Now that it's February I have finally found the time to post our Christmas Eve / Christmas Day pictures! Celebrating this last Christmas was so much fun because for the first time in eight years we got to stay home and celebrate under our own tree.
This meant new traditions for our family... On Christmas Eve we got to go visit Santa. Sorry no pics - the kids were to scared! Then we came home and played games together and painted our own ornaments. The kids loved this! I also loved it because it's not only way cheaper but it's also more memorable.
Izzie loved painting for the first time!
Keely and her purple Christmas Tree.
It's her favorite color!
Mackee and her angel because she is one!
Mom and her snowman!
Nice job Dad - it was perfect for his lump of coal!
On Christmas Eve we watched a movie together and then sprinkled reindeer food on the front lawn for Santa's reindeer. It was so magical! You should have seen the girl's faces, they were so excited for Santa to come. When the morning time came we all crept downstairs as a family to see what Santa had left for us....
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE SANTA CHEESE WITH HIS COOKIES!
Staying home this year as a family was WONDERFUL! I am not going to lie... We almost didn't know what to do with ourselves because we didn't have to run from one family to the next. My favorite part though was being able to have Christmas dinner together. Zack made a delicious ham and I made homemade rolls along with plenty of other side dishes. It was so much fun because I got new table linens and dishes and we let the girls eat on them. They were so excited to have the privilege of eating on grown up plates, and I must admit they did a fantastic job of not spilling or breaking anything.
