Some special highlights....
Emily's adorable way of saying "baby Jeeshush"
School play--watching both of my girls so confident, happy, and animated during the play with singing and dancing. In disbelief that BOTH my girls were old enough to participate this year.
Family time. Watching laughter and smiling faces as we exchanged gifts, had family time.
Running around in the park on an unseasonably warm Christmas eve and day with Lisa and Bruce.
Beautiful Christmas eve candlelight service--the kids got to participate in the play. Little less loud and chaotic than last year. Lol.
Watching the girls play and laugh with their cousin Ben. Watching Andrew open up his handpicked gift from Ben--rocks and a used dog ball--lol.
Leaving out milk and cookies for Santa. Ashley opting to wear her Milk and Cookie Pajamas since they are Santa's favorite.
Love for Chippy the Elf. Ashley carrying him everywhere, showing him 2x for Show and Share at school.
Christmas morning--the excitement and eagerness to open the presents. It was the fastest Christmas morning in history.
Spending the day playing new toys, doing new science experiments from gift, having quality family time.
Spending time with neighbors/friends next-door: wearing short sleeves and playing outside on a warm Christmas day (in shock for the north).
Reenacted christmas morning at moms with fresh squeezed orange juicing, decorating gingerbread men, playing with Alyssa--lots of laughter and squealing.
Visiting dad and him doing his famous "Magic towel" trick for the girls.
Lots of fun quality time.
