Our Christmas Review

Every year I feel like I am saying the same words, "I can't believe it's already over." It sure is such a magical time of year. This year despite all the illness we were able to experience some lights in the neighborhoods. We spent many cozy family nights watching different Christmas movies.
I think the girls favorite Christmas Tradition had to be baking our homemade sugar cookie and decorating them for Santa.

Christmas morning I could tell the anticipation of finding out of Santa had arrived was eating up our lovely four year old. So much she rushed out into the living room, rushed into our bedroom in a shocking voice she tells me, "mom! Santa brought us presents under the tree last night!!" She then continues to whip the comforter off of me. Why just me and not her dad? I have no idea. Ha ha ha. Once we gather around the Christmas tree, Viv, our silly four year old daughter continues to tell us, "Santa is on my good list this year." Funny part is, she was actually serious.

Ev finally received her American Girl doll. Brings back memories to the Christmas morning when I received my very own.

I love being behind the camera capturing these moments. When their older looking back at the past years they will have a good chuckle. He he he.

Of course underneath all the magic of Santa our girls know the real meaning of Christmas. Baby Jesus is born.  For the rest of Christmas day, we enjoyed it up at the cabin with family and snow.
