Our Christmas celebration was such a blast this year!!! The kids are at such a fun age for celebrating and understanding Jesus' birthday and all the festivities that go with it!! Here's a little play-by-play for the month of December!
Jump Start Christmas Program
We wanted a picture of the 4 kiddos...apparently it's kind of a lot to ask 2, 2 year olds and 2, 5 year olds..... haha!
PINKY!!!
Our elf who visits Santa every night while we are asleep to report about the kids' behavior that day. He is the first thing Mellany and Johnny look for when they wake up in the morning. And I must say that Mellany is REALLY good at finding him. He was in some pretty tricky spots and she had no problems finding him.
Birthday Cake for Jesus!
Stockings and sibling gifts @ home
A few days before our trip to KC, Pinky brings the kids' stockings from Santa to our house for them to open. We also open up gifts that the kids chose for each other.

Relaxing, shopping, playing
We had a really fun and exciting trip! The drive home was super quiet because the kids were so exhausted from playing so hard with their cousins, grandparents and aunts and uncles. We were actually all so exhausted that we are still recovering....several weeks later! It's the absolute best kind of exhaustion that you can have though and we are so blessed to have such an amazing family!
