Hope everyone is still enjoying their Holiday!! I've finally got a minute to sit down and do my Christmas post :-) We haven't been extremely busy but I've been enjoying the time off.
This Christmas was SO MUCH FUN! The kids are at such a fun age and are loving every minute of every thing! Hailey is so interested in all things Santa and Jack was always humming a Christmas song. They love looking for lights on houses and giving money to the bell ringers :-) We hung everything we could on the Christmas tree...if it had a hook or string it could go up there!
Here are some pictures from last Sunday when they wore their Christmas outfits to church. Grandma and Papa picked them out and I thought they were very cute. 
You can tell Jack was NOT ready for his close up! He was upset about the fact that we did not have any more green apples...only red ones. He wanted a green one before church and could not get over it. After pictures he decided a red one would be fine. Poor guy! But he still looks cute to me.
My two little munchkin's!
On Christmas Eve I decided to make sugar cookies. Santa needed something homemade...I'm sure he would have loved Oreo's but this was lots of fun. I haven't let the kids decorate cookies like this yet so it was new to us. I remember loving to do this with my mom when I was little so I was hoping they would too.
Hailey had a blast. She helped me cut out the shapes, and stuck with the decorating (all four dozen) till the end! Jack on the other hand...decorated about two and hit the road...so quick I couldn't even get a picture of him! 
She loved giving everything eyes.
Here are some of our masterpieces! They were very yummy too!! p.s. Jack's are the green candycane and the green ornament with the candycane on it! He likes green!! 
After church that night we went by Grandma and Papa's house to spend some time. They each got a special gift to open early. Plus their new pajama's from me and Darren.
Grandma and Papa got Hailey a Princess ornament!
And Jack got a Christmas Thomas the Train ornament!
Plus they got these silly wiggly guys!! They loved them :-)
Then we ran home to feed the Santa's reindeer with our special reindeer food that we made at Hailey's school. They sprinkled it in the front yard and on the walkway.
As you can see Hailey was very meticulous about how she placed each morsel, Jack on the other hand...just dumped the whole bag in one spot!! :-) 'Get 'er done!'
Then we went inside and they picked out some cookies to put on Santa's plate.... and then we read 'The night before Christmas' and hit the bed! Santa was getting close...we checked online!
Stay tuned...Christmas Day next post!

HarleytwoSuch good memories. I am glad you made the cookies. When your Mom was small, my Aunt Nina would help make the cookies and then let the kids decorate them. It sure helped me out.
how cute :) Happy New Year!!
I wanted to do the cookies like that this year, but didn't have the patience. We left cookies for Santa too...the ones our neighbor gave us. Those are the ones that Ben specifically told me not to eat..they were for Santa.
