Christmas 2018

Christmas was a wonderful day.  We woke up around 8 a.m. and opened presents for a few hours before heading over to Bri and Ronell's for a lunch.

The girls both got bikes.  Briz had outgrown her old princess bike and Wembley has been doing so well on her balance bike, we're hoping sometime soon she'll be able to take on the bike without pedals.  Taft got a truck walker.  He loved it.  He sat it in happy for at least an hour.

Pops and Grandma Julie came over early in the morning to watch us open presents.  Grandma wanted the kids to show the bums on their new Christmas jammies.

The kids also got a new swing set for the backyard, amongst other things.  From Papa and Nona, they got a new painting easel.  Briz loved her American Girl doll car, wardrobe, and clothes.  She also got some some new wheelies which she loved.  Wembley got some things for her kitchen, and she loved her new dress up wedding dress.

Christmas Prep

Papa and Nona came into town for Christmas and the girls were so excited!  We went straight to Sierra's Millenial Choir Concert and it was one of the most amazing things I've heard!

I got stated on my second batch of baking.

We went to Nutracker for a girls night out.  It was also fantastic.  The scenes and costumes were unbelievable.  Briz was on the edge of her seat the whole time, and clapping vigorously.  It was cute to see how enthusiastic she was.  She also said, "Mom, I want to be on point!"

We celebrated Nick's bday with a family party.  We had pizza and cake and played a large game of mafia.  It was really fun.

The kids also got sick.  Wembley had pneumonia and Taft had a cold and pink eye.  It could have bene much worse, but it did make all of the Christmas prep a little tough.

When we went to the nutcracker, we checked out Macy's candy windows downtown.

One day, we all met up at the Childrens museum.  It was so busy!  Everything was a little nuts the week before Christmas.  So much traffic!

On Saturday, we went to Portia's indoor soccer game.  She scored her teams only goal.

We went and hung out at Bri and Ronell's one night.   

And Papa and Nona were matching the kids at church on Christmas Eve Sunday.

We had Christmas Eve at our house on Sunday.  It included all of our family but the Michels, and Mike and Julie came.
