CHRISTMAS!!

We had a FABULOUS Christmas this year! I love this time of year and love spending time with family. My kids were totally into Christmas and it is so much fun to see the magic of Christmas through my kids eyes! We had a nice low-key Christmas Eve and had Benson's parents over for dinner. They gave the kids their presents and Ben was very excited about the Batman stuff (I think Benson liked it too)... We also had a SURPRISE visit from Santa...the kids were in awe of him and so excited that he brought them each a present (new jammies)!

We also made and decorated cookies for Santa...

Nate only liked the sprinkles :)

After Nana and Papa left...my sister Kacey and her husband came over to spend the night! My other sister (Reagan) made the kids some reindeer food and the kids loved sprinkling it on the lawn. Nate kept yelling to the sky "EAT IT- DUDOLF" It was so hilarious!

Santa Came!

Ben and Nate really wanted the "big Optimus Prime" toy...

And Samantha really wanted the Samantha American Girl doll (or was it that I wanted it...I'm not sure)

Ben is really into Star Wars lately and was really excited to get some Star Wars toys!

Ben was pretty easy to read on Christmas morning...if he liked his present he would kiss it!

Ben really wanted to get Reagan something to "paint her hair" and picked out some sparkly nail polish for her...

Christmas Night we had dinner and exchanged gifts with the my family....We had such a wonderful Christmas and I am so thankful that we could celebrate it together as a family!
