Christmas

We spent Christmas in MN with my parents. It was the first Christmas we had spent with them in quite a few years, and the first one with the girls. We could tell they enjoyed watching the girls opening their gifts. It was a wonderful time.

Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas.

This may be my most favorite photo from the entire trip.

Kylie and my dad at the candle light Christmas Eve church service.

A fabulous black bean spread that my dad made...he

also put it on a tortilla and made a wrap with it.

(hey dad, will you write down the recipe for me?! Please?!)

 

Our best attempt at a family pic.

The best attempt at a pic of the girls. Sidney is incapable of

sitting still.....ever

Opening presents from family on Christmas Eve

Kylie's expressions this year were priceless.

Her excitement was amazing.

:)

 

The cookies Kylie decorated for Santa, and one cracker for

each reindeer. (we forgot to buy carrots!)

Grandpa informed her though that he was told reindeer

love to eat crackers too. :)

Sidney realized it would be faster to just dump out

her stocking instead of reaching in and taking things out

one at a time.

Her reaction to seeing her stocking hanging on the stairs was priceless too.

She had a little dollie sticking out of hers, so she noticed they were full first and

was just so excited about. And mildly frustrated that she couldn't get to her stocking to get it down. :)

 

The girls and their stockings

Kylie realizing that St. Nick gave her this same type of

treat in her stocking a few weeks ago. :)

Opening the gifts Santa brought them.

More chocolate!

Yummy sweet tart candy cane!

We had a wonderful holiday, and a fabulous trip. We are so thankful that we were able to take the time to go home and spend all that time with family. Especially so everyone can see this girls when they are this young. They are growing up so fast.

We miss all of you already!!
Take Care!
