Holly Jolly Holiday Time

We had such a fun and festive December.  Nothing is better than watching Christmas through a 2 year old's eyes.

 

"WHOOOOAAA" 

"LOOOOOOK"  

"CANDLES" (christmas lights... ha!) 

"LIGHT IT UP!" about the Christmas tree 

"LIGHT UP YOURS!" about her christmas tree

This kid has been pretty dern cute himself...

Ben lit up the house Griswald style.  Kate loved the lights on our mailbox and every night she runs to the window yelling "MAILBOX! LOOK!"  

Our tree was massive as always and the house is chock full of decorations and Christmas cheer.  So much fun and so fun starting traditions with our littles.

We had a blast at my work Christmas party.  We had the best time having a night with no kids and some much needed fun with friends out on the town.

We got to see the lights at the zoo...  

It was cut somewhat short due to the fact that it was freezing and there was poop... and no diaper bag.  Whoops.

We had breakfast with Santa!!

Kate was pretty unimpressed.. She sat on his lap with no hesitation but wasn't really sure what all the fuss was about.  Bruce thought he was pretty snuggly and if we would have given him a few more minutes, he probably would have just cuddled right up and gone to sleep on the man!  

Oh and be still my heart when they read the Night Before Christmas and Kate just snuggles right up to her brother and puts her arm around him.  "Sit here baby, story, listen"

I love these kiddos so much my heart could burst.

We made (and ate) lots of treats and cookies

And we just enjoyed a month of full of Christmas excitement and fun.
