December/ Christmas 2017

Where did December go? I swear we were just finishing up turkey and pulling out the bins of Christmas decorations and now it's time to start thinking about packing everything up. I love decorating for Christmas and as sad as it is to take it all down; it's also kind of nice. It always makes the house feel less cluttered, less cramped, and really clean. But until then, the tree is still up, toys are still everywhere, and Gabby still asks if she can have a Christmas cookie for breakfast.

It was a wonderful December and Christmas. Here's a few highlight photos from our month.

Overpriced, slightly weird mall Santa

Serious tree search

Thinks falling in the hay is hilarious

Pretty sure I'll be getting these same stares 15 years from now!

First snow of the season!

Ice skating

Going to see her first Nutcracker

Wonderful grocery store Santa!

Started ballet and tap

Had to lower the crib

Christmas Eve

Santa came!

It was a great month. Gabriella is at a fun age for Santa and all things Christmas. By the end of the day she was exhausted but so so happy. Elliot was just happy to have a few toys that aren't his sister's hand-me-downs :) (and happy to be passed around from family member to family member; big boy loves to be held!).
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful start to 2018!
