Christmas Celebrations

December is always such a busy month. We love the holiday season-- it's packed full of fun activities. This year we saw Santa... a few times.
The first time was actually in November at the Festival of Trees benefit where Hannah danced. Jonas was not excited to meet Santa until after the picture when he received a sucker. For the rest of the season he was always excited to see Santa and get more treats.



The Skidmore Christmas party is always a lot of fun. There was a lot of family to see, delicious food to eat, and crazy games to play.
We played some Minute to Win It games. Brady won this puzzle contest, but Eli (and Brady's Uncle Bruce) were not far behind.


Hitting the pinata is a highlight for the kids.


We made graham cracker houses and used up some of the candy that accompanies this time of year.

The kids helped make sugar cookies.
They decorated some special ones for Santa.


Christmas Eve jammies!


Grandma Lori and Vicki joined in some Christmas Eve fun.


Christmas morning- playing with new toys.
(Even Grandma Lori joined in the fun.)





We had a wonderful Christmas this year.
We made a lot of fun memories together :)
