We love having Nonnie Kalo near us and have begun a Christmas Eve tradition with her by going to mass and having dinner together afterward.  The kids were anxious to open their presents from her and also to give gifts.  We have spent alot of time this month emphasizing that it's just as fun to give as to receive :)

The excitement of picking out cookies and milk for Santa and making sure there were enough carrots for ALL of the reindeer was something I wish I could bottle up and hold on to FOREVER!!

He came, he came!!!  Christmas morning is finally here!!!!

Dan's new slippers from Callie ;)

These bikes were the topic of conversation for 3+ months!

Lots of fun superhero dress up goodies!

Taking Flat Stanley (the paper doll--a school project we are helping a friend with) to look at christmas lights with us while we enjoy hot chocolate!
