Christmas

We always try and make Christmas morning magical.  I LOVE setting everything up and making it just right for when they walk down the stairs.

 

 

 

 The first thing the kids see when they walk down the stairs. 

 

 

The girls loved their matching chairs with their names on it.

 

 

 Sister Zoe was photobombing

 

 

 Hope being silly

 

 

Zoe loved her new bean bag chair with her name on it

 



Chase got what we was hoping for a remote control car that could go 40 plus mph

 



 Yiyi did not want to leave her chair

 

 

 A new soccer ball from grandma and grandpa

 

 

 Parker got two pairs of new shoes.  He will be styling in the New Year!

 Another item off his list, a drone.  This one even takes video and pictures

 

 

Opening presents is hard work

 



 

Now we have matching jackets mom

 



 

The boys had fun riding the wiggle cars around

 

 

 Then it was time for pictures my favorite part.  But getting a good one now takes patience.  Too many kids all doing different things so I can't be too picky.

 

 

 All in all is was a blessed relaxing day with family.

 

 

Pie in the face game

I let the kids open a present a few days early so that we could bring it on Christmas Eve.  They all took turns getting whip cream all over their faces.

Christmas play at church

Chase was in the Christmas play at church again this year.  He had a speaking part this time.  He had a moment where he forgot his line but other than that he did great.  He played Joseph and our friends daughter Kayli played Mary. 

Chase's Christmas play

Chase's whole entire 5th grade class was part of the Christmas play.  Chase was a mouse and had a dancing singing part with his class.  It was cute and Yiyi really enjoyed it.  Hope well she couldn't hardly sit still let's just say it was fun with her there.

Christmas tree

Finally got the tree up!  The kids had fun helping and even the little ones got to add some ornaments to the tree.

Christmas parade

We finally decided to attend our town's Christmas parade after 15 years of living there.  It was super cold even though we bundled up.  Yiyi really enjoyed watching everything and getting candy.  The other kids were mainly worried about getting candy.  We let the kids invite a friend and then another family met us there.  It was fun and I'm glad we braved the cold to see it.
