This was a busy season for us . . . but a good one!
Lots of dress up . . .
NO time to bake - sersiously - I didn't make ONE thing!!! Luckily I had friends that came and delivered me treats!!! I wanted to hug them all!!!! (truth be told: I was a little sad I had no treats - my sister tried to cheer me up since we both know it's not healthy, but it's Christmas! Sorry mom! So I sersiously about cried from joy each time someone came to my doorstep with a goodie!!!) Sometimes when people bring you stuff - it just adds to the too much you already have . . . but not this year for us!!!
Here are my kids and cousin Am talking to my parents on Skype on Christmas Eve! Gotta love technology! We ate chili like my mom always does on Christmas Eve.
After Aunt D had AAA come unlock her car the kids opened a couple of presents before they had to go home. 
Then we went caroling as a family - a first for us alone without our accordian player!!! We just went to a few neighbors since it was getting late. 
When we got back Z wanted to make sure he got to spread out some oats for Santa's reindeer and glitter to help find our yard . . . something he made in his Kindergarten class.
It started to snow while we were caroling - kind fun! Earlier in the week B had asked what we would do if it didn't snow for Christmas??? "Have a brown/green Christmas?" she asked. YEP, I said. But she lucked out and woke up to a white Christmas!!! Hope she doesn't expect that every year!
Luckily the kids didn't wake up too early! (I heard horror stories from others - don't tell our kids those possibilities!) They were excited to see the presents! But they waited paitently while I made us some ham & cheese mini muffin cressant roll things to eat and everyone got to see what was in their stocking (although it came out B had already looked in EVERYONE's stocking!)
I'm just posting this of D because it made me laugh he was wearing a UK shirt being that he is a UL fan and it was Christmas morning = pictures will be taken. He tried to hid it with the stocking. I wasn't laughing later when he had the camera and was taking pictures of me - what was I thinking either!! (: 
This was Ak towards the end of our present opening - just chilling waiting her turn - I was sitting there and I finally realized she was under me! (: Kids like to be near their parents they say! (:

That is AWESOME that you went Caroling as a family. Lydia asked if we were going to (b.c. we did last year with Gma&pa and Carl goes with his friends). Sad to say, we didn't. Maybe next year when we deliver goodies.
