a merry little Christmas season. Here's how we counted down the days till Christmas.
Visiting Santa. But only once. Whenever we encountered a Santa again at various events this season and I asked Holden if he wanted to see him Holden gave me an odd look and said "Uhh, no thanks. I already did. I told him I want Legos." Can't argue with logic, I guess.
Making Christmas crafts.
Making impromptu Christmas food.
And purchasing some as well. Mmmm, Peppermint milkshakes...
Having a Muppet Christmas Carol movie night/sleepover in front of the Christmas tree.
Partying with the family at a gingerbread house making party and cookie baking day.
Harper was rocking her Cindy Lou Who ponytail to add to the festivities.
Admiring Christmas lights
at the zoo (I am starting to look OLD, guys)
There was a preschool Christmas program that was so adorable I almost died.
And there was hosting Christmas Eve dinner/games at our house.
Later that night we prepared for hosting our next visitor.
And Santa did not disappoint. Holden was so preoccupied with his Santa Pez Dispenser that it took him a good minute and a half before he said "Oh, hey! A Bike!!!"
We saved the rest of our gifts for the present opening marathon with the family later that day.
Which proved to be just a little too exhausting for these two.
And on December 26th, we took it all down. Because I love Christmas, and I celebrate early and hard, but when it's done I'm done. Hence the unedited mash up of photos slapped into a blog post.
Till next year, Christmas!
