As Elliott said in her Guest Blogging (she's been pretty stressed out about how long it has taken me to finish my Christmas posting)- Christmas Eve we went to my parents house. First we had Rylee over for our second annual decorating cookies for Santa mess.
Don't they look so cute in their aprons?!
Decorating cookies is serious business.
Not serious for the girl that can't be serious though
Elliott loves writing a note to Santa on the plate each year
Next we made a bigger mess reindeer food
A big mess. I vote next year we make cookies for Santa at Aunt Amanda's house (especially since we'll have 2 more elves "helping")
Papa with his little boys. Isn't he the cutest Papa ever?
Christmas Bingo
I don't even care anymore that this is what my pictures look like. I mean who wants 3 kids standing and smiling like angles? I much prefer the true to life pirate face and screaming!
PJ with his Grammy. They are good buddies
The craziness begins. This period of time there was just paper flying and shrieks of happiness. Nobody really saw anything it was just a tornado of wonderful
E got some gift cards to Barnes and Noble that she was super excited to go spend. Girl loves to read just like mom and dad.
Oh look- a crying baby... That's different. (He's really usually pretty happy except when people try to hold him to take pictures)
Its hard to pick just one picture of these group shots of 5 kids 6 and under. Next time we probably need a shot from behind them of the 8 adults calling names and dancing around.
I love how Baxter wants in on the action. I think we have some pictures of Berkley and Rylee doing the exact thing Rylee is doing with Patton.
No group shot is complete without Berkley's scrunched up pirate face
These are even better. Look at Berk- oh and look Patton is crying.
I think this is my Christmas card for next year.
After a long night of partying we headed home to get in bed and wait for Santa to come. The whole way home the girls asked questions about Santa Logistics- I offered to try to stay up and catch him, but after much discussion they agreed that I shouldn't because he might not stop at our house if someone was still awake. The girls turned on the TV as soon as we got home to watch the Santa Tracker to get an ETA on his arrival.
I am so bad about getting pictures of the adults. I have got to get better at that. I'll take lots tonight on NYE at my sisters house.
