Our Christmas break started with a little party with Lynn, Kara, Deneige and our kiddos at my house. The kids are really starting to get to know each other and had a a good time. I think this week Bradley has a crush on Meggie.... :)
We spent the day of Christmas Eve at Nana and Pappas. The kids had a good time running around and playing outside. It was such a pretty day. Gustie made the best Fried Chicken I have ever eaten... And so, I ate 3 pieces along with all the other yummy sides... We then opened gifts and Claire was amused that she got an apple in her stocking. She asked Nana "why did you put an apple in my stocking?" It was pretty funny. When we got home, we baked chocolate chip cookies for Santa and made him a thank you card, which has been a tradition. All the girls ate a big cookie and then Emma couldn't quite understand why she couldn't eat Santa's cookie too...
Christmas morning was so much fun. Claire woke up first and was tickled that Santa left part of his cookie. So, of course she went straight for the left-overs!!! Santa brought Claire the Rose Petal Cottage and other goodies. Meg got a kitchen and Emm got a horse that she doesn't like at all! Ha! So, hopefully she'll grow into the horse. Claire and Meg sure do like it though... After opening gifts and trying to pry the kids away, we all went to Mamo's house. They had a blast making cookies with Mamo and again opened more gifts. They got a See Saw for the backyard and other goodies. Mamo cooked a nice lunch that we chowed down on and I slept which is always what I do when I go home. And then to end the evening, Dan made the girls their first hot coco ever with yummy marshmellows. And, they loved it! I was suprised Emm drank it and Claire had 2 cups!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and you all have a safe and happy New Year!
