Our Christmas

We've had such a great month of Christmas activities and it's left me wishing for just a few more days of Christmas fun, but just like that, it's over for this year. What a good Christmas we've had though!

We hosted the Mercer side this year, and spent the week prepping food, cleaning and baking. It was great to have everyone over and the kids were all spoiled beyond belief. We got Jonah in bed at his normal time and were still able to enjoy time with family before completing our final Santa prep and getting Avery in bed.

In the morning we had to wake the kids up around 8:30, because we were just too excited to let them sleep in any longer. They were both so excited to play with all their new toys from Santa. Avery got the "Barbie what rides a horse" that she asked Santa for, a Power Wheels truck, and lots of little toys that she's asked for throughout the year. Jonah got a push and ride Mickey car, new sippys, bowls, teethers and a stocking full of Puffs that that he has really enjoyed getting to eat. He also cut his two top teeth this week, so has still been a little sick as a result, but is hopefully on his way to relief!

We were supposed to be heading to Oklahoma to spend time with my family, but once again the weather has ruined our travel plans. The storms here and ice/snow heading there have us postponing our celebration with them. It feels so weird to not see my family on Christmas, but it was also nice to have no plans or anywhere to go yesterday. Hopefully it all works out for everyone to get together soon. 

We had a wonderful Christmas with our little family and hope you did too! Having kids definitely makes this season so magical and fun.
