Anyone who knows me well knows that I hate the winter! I'm a warm weather girl to my core. However, I absolutely LOVE the winter during the Holidays:) There is something about the twinkling lights, the smell of pine, fires crackling and Christmas music playing that just makes me so happy. And it sure makes tolerating the cold much easier. It also helps to be able to watch the growing excitement that Will and Jack have over Christmas. I didn't really expect that they would be that into it this year, assuming they were still a little too young. I was WRONG! They are so into every bit of it:) They love the tree, Santa, the lights, everything! And around here, celebrating Christmas comes very early! We saw Santa for the first time this year the weekend before Thanksgiving...yep, that's right! We have since seen him three more times...local fundraiser, preschool, children's gift exchange, and club Santa Brunch...he's everywhere!! Here are some recent pictures of Thanksgiving, holiday decorations, visits with Santa, etc....Merry Christmas to you all!! xoxo, Katie
Fun with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Ellen:)
Jack and William....and Will screaming:) In our house there is usually at least one person screaming these days....life with two 2-year olds!
The Festival of Trees...a fundraiser for our local Children's Hospital
Jack loved looking at the Gingerbread houses...
This picture cracks me up...Poor Santa!
You can barely even see Santa back there:) The boys would not do it by themselves though!
Trying to get a group picture of our annual kids gift exchange....there are now so many kids that my camera could not fit them all in at once!
Will and Jack were not big fans of the group photo shoot...
So cute...he looks like he's praying for good presents!
Playing with our new "Thomas" train!
Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE to decorate for Christmas:)
Our GIGANTIC Mickey Mouse stocking!
Sugared fruit centerpiece
Will's face is priceless!! "Are you kidding me?!"
If you've ever wondered why I often take pictures of Jack without his glasses on, this picture explains it all....the glare! Often ruins such a cute picture...
Happy boy with his new car!
Merry Christmas!!!
