Joyeux Noel!

I'm channelling my inner Frenchman:-)

Did you have a wonderful Holiday? Here is a rundown of our festivities.

Santa actually came a little early to our house. Here's the story: James and I got a phenomenal deal on this swing set. Part of this phenomenal deal included a handy man that would come to us and set it up. Well, late afternoon of the 23rd, we learned this was not going to happen. So being the great dad he is, James (with some help from my Pop as well) braved the cold to set this up for the girls. They finished late on the 24th. I was getting the girls ready to go over to my parents when we hear Raychel say "SANTA LEFT ME A PARK IN MY BACKYARD!" So we just had to play along. All of that hard work was well worth it. They were so excited!Anna trying out the slide.We loved this because there were THREE swings. No one has to fight for a turn.Leah going to Papa.Raychel had to wear that Beatles shirt.Raychel and Brookie. As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of my favorite traditions is our Christmas Eve Buffet. Raychel started calling it the "Christmas Eve Cafe." I have officially renamed it. She kept telling me I needed to make some "cookies with frosting for the cafe." So I did. The Cafe is always more fun shared with friends! Leah and GG enjoying Funyuns and watching the fish.Opening Jammies.All bathed and ready for Santa (he had to come back and fill the stockings!).
My husband is so cute! I was watching basketball a while ago with him, and I jokingly told him he needed to get me one of those "Brewer" jerseys. I woke up to one on Christmas. Grant got one too. Look how he is taller than me now!
