{A Holly Jolly Christmas}

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. It was fun to see Lauren get excited about Santa Claus coming and talk about Jesus being born in "Bethwaham."

On Christmas Eve we made cookies for Santa and put them out for him and carrots for the reindeer. Then we spent time with the Farar's.


Luckily Lauren did not wake up Christmas morning until 8:30. Kylee however woke up at 2am and 6am, but slept through opening presents!!



Lauren was excited to see what Santa brought her: lots of fun stocking stuffers, "big girl panties" and a new Cabbage Patch doll!





We then went to see our families and open presents there. The chaos was not too bad at the Chadwick's. Lauren acted as the gift distributor and kept asking which ones were hers. She only opened a couple that did not belong to her, so that isn't too bad!



And...this is a self portrait of my sister Ashley who came home to see her wonderful big sister!!



Like always I am sad it is over. We already took down the Christmas decor. Our living room is too small for all our furniture and 2/3 of a Christmas tree. I was feeling claustrophobic. Oh well...next Christmas will be here before we know it...363 days to be exact!
