Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was so much fun!  The kids were so excited about everything!!  We spent Christmas eve day with all of the cousins.

 We all got our Christmas Jammies.

 Uncle Brett & Maxx

 Millie & Maxx setting out the cookies for Santa.

 Christmas morning the kids both got a new bike from Santa.

 Maxx wore his helmet pretty much the whole morning.

 We all decorated gingerbread houses and the kids decorated little trees.  Maxx would stick the candy on and then take it off and put it in his mouth.

 Leeon surprised me with a new computer.  I was SO shocked!  I LOVE IT!!

 It was such a wonderful Christmas spending time together with family and remembering why we were celebrating.

Christmas Sunday

All dressed in our Sunday best before Christmas,

Preschool Christmas Party

                   

 Millie had her preschool Christmas party.  They exchanged books, played games, and sang songs to get Santa to come.

Millie actually sat on Santa's lap and I was super surprised!  When she was done she said, "Mom, are you proud of me for being so brave and sitting on Santa's lap?"

I had to trick Maxx to even get him close to Santa.

Christmas Lights

 We went down to the Riverwoods to checkout all of the festivities.  We went on a wagon ride, checked out all of the pretty lights, quickly walked past Santa because he was too scary (according to Millie and Maxx) and ate dinner.

Thanksgiving 2012

We spent Thanksgiving with Leeon's family this year.  The kids had so much fun having a sleep over with their cousins.  They were giggling and laughing all night long!

 Millie fell asleep at the table while we were playing a game.
