Our Christmas

Santa made a special delivery on Christmas Eve to drop off the kids pajamas...so they were excited to put them on after their bath!


The tree looked pretty magical on Christmas morning...

I love my kids...the best gifts of all!



Little Princess with her loot!

Christmas is Over

Our Weekend

We attempted to "meet Santa" at the mall, but after looking at the line (and knowing our kids limit) we asked Paige if she wanted to meet Santa or go on the escalator...and she chose the escalator! We looked out over the street and saw that there was a horse-drawn carriage giving rides...the kids thought that was pretty special!





A little sharing....we tried a new pizza place in town on a reccommendation of some friends, and it was great!


Ahhhh the joys of a straw....to be a kid again!





We hope you all ( all 5 of you that read this!) have an amazing holiday with your loved ones. We will be making clam chowder and rolls tomorrow, and a ham dinner on Christmas. It will just be the four of us, and I think it will be great. Lots of pictures after the weekend!
All our love, xoxoxo

Peace Out!

LOVE my new ornaments....LOVE that Christmas is this week!!!!!


We got a little bit of snow that hung around for a day or two...Riv and Daddy stayed in while Paige and I ran around. Lots of Snow Angels from P...she loved it!







Another Dance Party with Paige....she is a funny duck!





She LOVED this picture of herself...says she looks like an Alien...I think it is a great shot because that mouth is ALWAYS moving :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Come on Paige...let me take your picture...

wait....almost there...

Smile.....I love you!

Merry Christmas ALL!!

The kids are mesmerized by this tree...it is very sweet! Paige got to go out and chop it down with her Daddy...they got all muddy, but I think they picked the most perfect little tree ever! I hope that experience sticks in her brain and can be one of her earliest memories!

Lots of handcrafted goodness being made down in that basement of mine....stay tuned!
