Christmas catch up.

So I am so far behind it is a little daunting to catch up but here is my attempt.

Christmas was a blast.  We celebrated early at Grandpa and Catherine's.

We spent the Christmas Eve morning visiting Santa before he headed to the North Pole.

Then had our annual Christmas Eve at Nene and Duke's with a huge crowd as always.

Christmas Eve traditions included milk and cookies for Santa, reindeer food sprinkled, and The Night Before Christmas read.

Christmas morning at home.  Santa continues to surprise us and it is a magical morning.

And finally Christmas Day with Nana and Papa.

Holidays.

The holiday season has started and we have checked some of our holiday traditions off the list.  We went to the lighting downtown (it was wet and we don't have any pictures because our camera would have died in the downpour.)  But these pictures are from our drier traditions.

Hadley and mommy went to the Nutcracker.  Hadley's favorite part is getting dressed up.

Clip on earrings from great grandma Lois.

 We visited the tree farm.  We searched the fields for a tree but mommy's need for a large tree lead us to the barn to pick one out.  I thought this one was a winner...maybe next year.

 Here's the winner.  It turned out to be really really round.

 Santa Ollie.

 Tree decorating.

 Santa brunch.

 Oliver loved him this year. 

 Didn't want to leave.

 Hadley made sure to tell him EVERYTHING she wanted.
