Christmas Season

We had a wonderful Christmas Season - we took part in the #LighttheWorld thing and it lightened our own season significantly. It did mean that some things got left until a little extra late :our christmas cards; which are still coming heh: but we also made some great memories.

We went to the Zoo and saw their lights. It was pretty special.



We did the Santa there, and didn't get super great ones of Claire and Santa for first Santa but it was a really fun experience.

we made a gingerbread stable.

K's gram gram (the name is her invention) helped her make a very adorable house out of graham crackers and an ice cream cone 

Christmas came around and we had decided to open presents Christmas Eve morning. We figured the girls wouldn't mind, and then we could just not worry about the craziness of 8:30 am church on Sunday.. and we could just play all day on Saturday with our new stuff! We loved how it worked out.
Claire got some kitchen food in a reindeer bag


Korrali got this trampoline

Big Foot became a Christmas ornament

Korrali and Claire got this kitchen, and Korrali got 2 adorable aprons and some new dishes.

The girls also received tons of new books, some new clothes (korrali got footie pjs which she has worn every night since, except for the one they were being washed after being thrown up on), and Claire got a drum and music set. The hours and hours of happy play time and sister bonding time as a result of the new Christmas toys have been my best gift of all.

This was our best family photo for Christmas. Well, unless you count our zombie one. Still to come.
Merry Christmas!
