MERRY CHRISTMAS

This has been a great holiday season so far, and I'm sure it will continue to be so.

Christmas Eve was lovely.

I don't have any pictures from then, but I might try to get a few from my friend.

We decorated our neighbours pine tree in the back with garlands of popcorn and dried fruit for the little critters of the night.

We had a late night sledding party, surrounded by our glowing ice globes.

You make them by filling balloons with water and leaving them to freeze in the snow and then popping them before they are frozen all the way through and you have a globe with a hole in the middle, perfect for a candle.

They look great.

We didn't spend very much time decorating the tree, but we are still finding evidence that the bunnies are enjoying the goodies we left for them.

Gramma slept over this year.

She's always with us on Christmas day, we usually have to share her, just for a little bit, but we love having her over for most of the day.

Having her around is just a part of our Christmas Tradition.

These are our advent candles Christmas morning.

Dad had a service to do at work, so we opened a few presents before he left.

And then we had to wait until he got back.

Poor Baby wasn't even up yet and totally missed out on our first batch of present opening.

But that didn't stop him from looking through the presents we had already opened without him.

He found the lipstick the princess had asked for, and somehow he knew exactly where it went.

                     For Christmas lunch we just had leftovers from the party the night before, and the kids got

 to eat "Gramma's Noodles" (aka Kraft Dinner)

Kratf Dinner and Cranberrie Juice... mixed together?
Yum?

                                                   Dad finally came home and we started back at the presents as soon as we could.


I gave the Princess there clip on hair extensions, and she enjoyed wearing them all day.



The Baby became a pro at ripping through the presents in no time.

What an angelic little guy.

 We got our little Superhero completely outfitted for every super-experience he could ever come across.

He got everything from Batman, to Superman, to Spiderman, to some I've don't think I've ever even heard of.

Here's the little guy in full Spiderman gear, complete with webslinging device(not pictured here).

                                                                   

                 The Little Princess got all dolled up too. The three most important things on her list were: lipstick, a tutu, and red highheels.

They aren't necessarily the reddest shoes out there, but they were the best we could find.
And they do have highheels, so we're good.

              

This is what our candles looked like by the end of the day.
We figured that since there weren't any days left to count down, we might as well burn them until they were gone.

For dinner we had a lovely turkey dinner with all of the trimmings.

                                                                  



We love having a relaxing Christmas day, at home, with just the family.
Every year just seems to get better.
