Our girls!
We had a wonderful Christmas and are still waiting to celebrate one more time with Adam's parents! Santa came to our house and spoiled the girls with fun surprises! We have a tradition on only getting to ask Santa for 3 things, related it to the three gifts Jesus got from the 3 wise men. This year Lucy got a kitchen helper, baking tools and an etcha sketch. Lola got a taggie ball, a few new books, and Tigger. Santa was really nice and left some other small treats for the girls to play with too! Lucy's eyes lit up as she walked into the living room to see all of the gifts. She was in awe and really took her time with the gifts. We weren't too sure how she would react but she loved it. We have started some fun family traditions; waking up on Christmas morning at our house (this was a first for Adam and I since we have dated, we typically go to one of our parents homes), Adam reading Twas the Night Before Christmas before bed time, having a birthday cake and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus and a gingerbread making contest (we have done this with Adam's parents for the past 3 years, I always look forward to doing this with them. We tried it with my family this year and had a blast we weren't as nice as Buzz and Daisy - we waited until the kids went to bed and made it just for adults). I am sure there are more however these were some that I just loved.
