Good ol' Jellybean, our elf, was quite mischievious this year! He pulled all sorts of stunts leading up to Christmas, but this was one of Isabelle's favorites. He was playing in the sugar and candy sprinkles.
Christmas Eve... even after a very long, fun filled day and night at Grandma and Grandpa's house, her excitement kept her awake the whole car ride home so that she could be sure to set Santa's cookies out for him. I absolutely LOVE this time of year!!
The girls anxiously dig into their stockings on Christmas morning!
Sophie loved sitting with Daddy while opening her gifts on Christmas morning. She definitely had the gift opening figured out by the end of December!
Isabelle opening her scooter from Santa :) She has thoroughly enjoyed tooling around our house on her new ride, so once spring arrives she should be an expert at zooming around the neighborhood!
Isabelle loves helping in the kitchen... especially when it means baking and decorating cookies for Santa!
Isabelle proudly shows of her Gingerbread House! :) This year we started a new tradition, celebrating the 12 days of Christmas. Each day, the girls picked a paper ornament that I had created off the tree. Written on the back of each ornament was a special activity for our family to do together to celebrate the season. Isabelle loved this and was very excited each day to choose the ornament and do our special activity. She also enjoyed helping with the Advent calendar.
My beautiful girls... "Smitten with Daddy!"We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. We certainly did! In my opinion, this is ABSOLUTELY the most wonderful time of the year. I am so thankful for our family and friends and for my loving husband and most cherished gift of all... my two beautiful little girls. We wish you many blessings in the New Year. May you know God's love, for it is great!
