Christmas 2018

This past Christmas was a fun one that year because of the girls ages, especially for Vivian. They were getting so excited for the big day!

Christmas Eve we had our tradition of having Christmas Eve dinner, well, this year we did more appetizers for our dinner and saved the ham for Christmas day.  The girls left milk and cookies for Santa before bed.

Christmas morning Viv woke first and was so excited to see her presents.  She patiently waited to dive in until Joanna was up.  We did let her look in her stocking.  When Joanna woke that morning she was hesitant.  She thought Santa was downstairs waiting for her so she didn't want to leave her room.  After a little pep talk we came down, but she wasn't ready to open her gifts.  She was happy to watch Vivian.

Vivian's Christmas list was hair chalk and arts and crafts.  Joanna wanted a bike.  Santa made their wish come true!  

So happy everyone enjoyed their gifts and we enjoyed our day.

Christmas Activities

Age 5 and 3 are great ages for Christmas.  Vivian had a better understanding and Joanna was excited.  We did all the Christmas things and the girls had a ball.  We saw Santa several times and lots of other fun activities.  I took Vivian to see The Nutcracker, Joanna was in her first Christmas play at church, Vivian even played Mary and Jo was a sheep, gingerbread building at Chick-fil-a, Christmas at Poplar Grove and Enchanted Airlie.  Fun and special memories were made!
