A Perfect Christmas Weekend

We have loved every minute of our Christmas celebrations.
AL kicked the weekend off with her preschool Christmas concerton Thursday night. It was adorable. They sang the Reindeer Hokey Pokey. Uncle SH had just flown into town and was able to come too which was so fun.
AL did get pretty distracted when she turned around during the song and realized she could see herself on the big screens behind her......hahaha.
Christmas eve is always my favorite day of the year. The kids were so giddy with excitement is was hard not to get excited too! We headed over to my parent's house with some of T's family too and had a great evening of playing games and eating tons of our favorite snacks, appetizers and desserts (yum).

Santa stopped by our house and filled stocking and set up play tents for the kids.
The kids were beyond excited to see what Santa had brought them in the morning (we lucked out and they slept until 9am). AL did notice later in the day that Santa was so nice and must have walked through our house and put the tent boxes in the recycle bin in the garage (opps).
We later headed to my parents house and tackled this huge pile of presents. I must admit that one of my favorite "presents" was the fact that it was 7 degrees above zero and even rained a bit on Christmas! (perfect for this west coast girl)
We enjoyed an amazing dinner thanks to this lady.


The rest of the evening was spent visiting and playing. Perfection.


I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas full of love and memories as well!
