Holiday Fun

Here's a bunch of photos I took right before Christmas.

12/4 We got an Elf on the Shelf!  The kids named him Roderick and were up early every morning to see where he moved overnight.  I absolutely loved this little guy.  He promoted good behavior & I never had to drag JP out of bed in the morning for school!

A close 2nd

The winner!

12/11- My friend Kate hosted a Mother/Daughter Christmas brunch.  It was so fun & Santa even showed up!

 

12/17 Decorating cookies: I let the trio help decorate for the 1st time this year.  It was definitely an exercise in patience & there were sprinkles everywhere!

12/19 Annual Trip to Bass Pro & see Santa: No tears this year!

Playing with the trains.

Ryan in heaven.

Go Buffaloes!

Girls jeepin!

Telling Santa everything we want this year for Christmas:  JP- a telescope, Ryan- a Chuggington train, Caitlin- a magic wand & Madison- a kitty cat piano.

12/22 Snow!  It was a White Christmas- 9 inches fell a few days before.
