FINALLY!! I am caught up with pictures from December! Here are some from Christmas. This year was so much fun as the kids were really getting into everything Christmas related.
A few days before Christmas they were enjoying a candy cane after baths and decided Vaughn needed the reindeer ears. Vaughn being the best dog ever, patiently sat with the ears on for a picture. So cute!

It was simply perfect that it snowed on Christmas Eve. We got just enough during the day for Elaina to make a snowman with Daddy...

And then to go for a little ride on the sled. She loves the snow and was especially proud of her snowman that faced our window and she closely watched until it melted.

Opening the Advent calendar each night after dinner was a big event for the kids. For a few weeks after Christmas, Skylar would still ask for "calendar" after bath.

Getting treats ready for Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve. Elaina insisted that Santa needed chocolate milk (something she learned from watching a cartoon).

Reindeer cookies, sugar cookies, carrots, and chocolate milk....we are ready for Santa to arrive!

Presents, presents, and more presents!

Elaina was up around 5 but she patiently waited for Skylar (and Daddy) to get up before even asking to open her presents.

Waking up to even more snow on Christmas morning.... the view from our back patio.

The keyboard was a BIG hit (and the first present to be taken away because they were fighting over it!)

Skylar with his drill (aka his "hair dryer").

Trying to get a picture of Elaina and Olivia, they fell backwards onto the presents but didn't even seem to notice. Oh and this is round 2 of the tree being completely surrounded by presents! We had already opened all the other ones from the previous picture.

Skylar's new Tonka police car was a big hit!

What a surprise, Elaina has no shoes on (surprisingly she still has on her tights). One of these days she will stay in the entire outfit I pick out for her!

After presents and dinner, ending the evening watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Grandma
