This year we are having so much fun getting ready for Christmas!
We introduced our family Elf. We read the story behind the elf and watched a tv special that I recorded on DVR. Caitlyn decided to name him Matthew despite my attempts to name him something cute and fun. Every night he goes back to the North Pole and reports to Santa how she was that day. Then she has to find his new hiding spot each morning. It's been so much fun!
We went to the Museum downtown to see the huge Christmas tree and Santa with PaPa and Grandma Darling. Caitlyn was all excited about seeing Santa until we were next in line. She ended up in my lap again this year. At least this year we sat next to him and not on the floor below him! We also toured the museum and all the trains. Caitlyn loves trains right now!
We took family photo's and the kids individual photo's in front of the Christmas tree for our Christmas card. I have so much fun picking out a fun card to use each year! We actually got the family picture in the first sitting. The past 2 years we've had to try 2 or 3 different times. I love how our card turned out this year!
Last week Caitlyn had her Christmas Program at school. I was so excited about this! The set up was kind of crappy so it was hard to see all the kids since I didn't get there early enough and were in the back row. I did get a small video and a couple of pictures though. We then helped decorate a gingerbread house in her classroom before going home.
My Christmas shopping is all done and all the gifts are wrapped!
Last Saturday we celebrated with Grandma Kendy's family in Seward. Lunch and Pitch...unfortunately Caitlyn was sick with diarrhea so we didn't get to stay long after lunch.
Last Sunday we celebrated with my immediate family. We included Uncle Tony's new girlfriend Darcy who I just love and picked names. We opened gifts and ate dinner. Caitlyn got up at 6:00 that morning and has given up naps so she was pretty tired and crabby by the end of the night. But we still had a lot of fun!
Christmas Eve we'll go to Church and then dinner at Biaggi's with PaPa and Grandma Darling.
Christmas Morning is just the four of us and my dad may join us for breakfast casserole! Totally laid back and all about us! So excited!
I am so full of happiness and joy this year. I can't imagine it being any better than this!
