It's beginning to look and feel like Christmas . . .

It's been such a busy month that I've gotten a little behind in posting pictures of our holiday fun, including picking out and decorating our Christmas tree, visiting Santa, decorating a gingerbread house and much more.  I warn you, there are lots :) Enjoy!

Eli's first taste of candy cane at the tree farm with Great Pop

Off to find the perfect tree . . .

 We found it!!!



Eli was hiding in there :)


Alli was very intrigued by what Daddy was doing with her tree!




Time to decorate . . .






Eli was more impressed with Ziggy than the tree


Our visit with Santa. . .






Alli's preschool performance . . .


She was so excited to have all of her grandparents there!!!

She was so into the singing and signing ~ so cute!

She even volunteered to play one of the Kings during the story of Jesus' birth.  The crown was about 3 sizes too big but she was so proud and it was adorable!!!

Enjoying a cookie with her Daddy after the performance.


Decorating the gingerbread house ~ way more candy was eaten than used to decorate ;-)





Me with both my babies after finishing the gingerbread house.

  1. Great photos! You have had a busy month - you were hiding all these pictures from your fans. :) Loved them all! Especially the Santa and Mrs. Claus picture with the kiddos and Alli wearing the crown in her preschool performance. Sounds like she is doing so well opening up - she volunteered!!! That sounds like big news!! Way to go Miss Alli!

    Love you guys! Merry Christmas!

  3. We went to visit Santa at the Log Cabin museum on Sidney. It's free, you take your own pics and no lines ~ perfect :) We decided it's the only way to go!
