Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

We were by ourselves this year for Christmas. In years past we had been invited to friend's family parties. I made Ham, Potatoes, gravy, rolls, steamed carrots and pie.

Christmas Eve Dinner

Trying to take a family picture... 

Christmas morning was a hit!

Arlee love Merida! She was Merida for Halloween and now that she has
a bow and a few arrows she would like to be her again.  

Sophia the First is another favorite princess. She is one that I do not find
annoying.

She was stoked to get a new coat. I always wait for Black Friday to buy
them. They are so cheap at Old Navy!

Hans wanted clippers for his hair

Minnie Mouse light up shoes

A bigger hot chocolate mug

This one made me cry. (pregnant remember) I got a case of Stephens Hazelnut
hot chocolate. I have been looking for about a year with no luck. Hans found
it on Amazon. I am one lucky girl. 

Lydia gave Arlee a puzzle

Arlee gave Lydia a mermaid. They were so cute picking out presents for
each other this year. Arlee wanted to give her the mermaid so they could
play mermaids in the bath together. (Arlee had one already)

I got a heated mattress pad. Love it. It has been helping me not be so sore
either.

Shop Vac Anyone? 

It does all sorts of cool tricks. Hans has loved using it.

Arlee has been praying for snow. Well it has not been in the cards this year
I guess. So Santa and our Elf, Chief put their heads together and made it
snow for Arlee inside this year. 

We had a nice snow ball fight. It was funny to listen to the girls when they
came down Christmas morning. "What the heck?"-Arlee "Hahahaha Look,
uh-oh!"-Lydia

Santa knows Arlee loves princesses. She said, "What? I
already have a Merida dress! What a robe? I have always wanted a robe. Mom we can be twins!"

Santa knows Lydia loves baby dolls. Also that she is
soon to be a big sister. What a great idea. "Baby,
Mommy, Baby, Dadda, Baby! Ar-eeee, Look baby!"

Chief and Santa ate their cookies and milk.

There is also snow on the tree 

and on the fireplace decorations.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
