Christmas

For Christmas this year we stayed home and both agreed that it was nice to not mess with the crowds, blizzards, and chaos of flying with 2 kids at Christmas-time! We will be flying to CA in March (Uncle Matt is getting married!) , Joel to Wisco in July (bachelor party), and then Wisco in August (Ryan's wedding). Anyway here's a few pics from the holidays--I didn't take too many.

Emily gave us the "elf on the shelf" this year. It's an elf that watches over the girls each day and then at night he flies to the North Pole and tells Santa if they've been good (it comes with a book that tells all about the elf). Each morning he comes back and is sitting in a different spot in the house. They LOVED looking for him each morning. Here they are talking to him (he's in the rain boot) and asking him what he did at Santa's house the night before.

Decorating cookies with Cat-mama on Christmas Eve. My favorite quote from Willa, "HEY! Santa ate all my cookies!! We gotta get 'em back!!"

Santa brought the girls a dollhouse, some "sewing stuff" for Larkin (she loves to sew), and lots of games we can all play together. We opened presents at our house Christmas morning, and then drove to Round Rock and opened even more presents! Larkin kept saying, "Maybe when I wake up from my nap Santa will come again!"
