Christmas at Patti's

After we had our Christmas morning we headed to Patti's for the unveiling of her BIG gift to the kids.  They each opened up a certificate that said they were going on a Disney Cruise and a Disney sweatshirt.  It was so amazing!  The kids are beyond excited and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Thank you Patti for all of your hard work and sacrifice to get us all there!

Christmas 2012

This Christmas was all about gear for the snow and for our upcoming cruise.  Everyone got a mix of winter and summer stuff, plus some other fun items from our lists.  The girls were really excited about getting their own snorkeling kits.  Cameron loved his new toys, but what he loved most was his bath fish.  He is obsessed with these and carries them everywhere.  He got some more under the tree and was beyond excited.  He tried carrying at least 5 of them all day while attempting to play with his new stuff. I just love the homemade ornaments the girls make with their pictures every year-precious.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we opened our matching jammies, drank hot chocolate and left out milk and cookies for Santa. It was so nice to have a low key Christmas Eve.  We got together with extended family the night before, so the 24th was just us.

Sledding

I think the only good thing about living where there's snow is sledding.  We have had lots of snow the past month and have taken advantage of it.  The girls love it, but of course hate walking back up the hill.  The kids don't last very long, but have fun for a minute.  Cameron even took a ride by himself!

Christmas Wreaths

One night we made these yummy wreaths!  They were super easy and the girls love making them and eating them.
