Happy Holidays!

We CANNOT wait for Christmas this year! Callie understands that we are celebrating Jesus' birthday and that is VERY exciting!!!  She is asking 101 questions about Jesus, heaven, Santa, elves, etc... We are trying our best to be honest yet still embrace the magic of Christmas.  Our elf, Kensington, (crazy elf name, I know) is back and in full force.  They are falling for it hook, line, and sinker each morning!  Kids make the holidays so much fun (and exhausting)!  Happy holidays from our family to yours!!

An early Christmas exchange with Aunt Natalie and the kids!

 They loved their Dream Lites!!!


Thanksgiving at my parents house was fun and delicious!  We love getting all 6 grandkids together to play and we just have to laugh at how crazy it is :)  Good thing my Mom loves "crazy" and those kids have a ball when they are all together!  Thanks Mom and Dad for cooking an awesome Thanksgiving meal!





One of our most favorite things to do in the winter is attend the Lights Before Christmas at the Toledo Zoo!  We were fortunate enough to go two nights in a row when there were pretty mild temps!  A great way to kick off December!






 Breakfast with Santa at Granite City was a blast as usual!  Although the kids didn't eat much for breakfast, they enjoyed dancing to Kerry Clark playing the guitar and talking to Santa.  This year we only had one crier ;)
