Christmas came early at our house this year. Mimi and Bapo came the weekend of the 16th and completely spoiled us. We had a terrific time.
The Candles
Opinion on Cake - Score!! Delicious!
Thank you Mimi and Bapo
Friday night we had our family birthday party for Hazel complete with Pioneer Woman's best frosting ever on a chocolate cake and more presents. Hazel loved it!! She knew exactly what to do with the candles and was all about opening and playing. She loved her doll and Elmo. It was so fun to have family to share in our birthdays. John was even home :)
That night we had our Yearly Chiropractic Visits. I was still nervous about Rand's big fall in November.
Then off to bed time stories with mimi and Bapo. What fun!
The next day we woke up and decided to postpone Christmas until the evening. We would go do Christmas photos at FMG and then come home for naps. Poor John woke up and could not function so I had to get the kids ready for our annual Christmas photo without him. Mimi and Bapo and I and the kids headed all dressed up out to FMG and had a wonderful time.
The Best One - Not counting the one I put up on Facebook :)

Chinese Lanterns--Thank you Scotia!! I love my jacket.
Mousing Around
After our naps we decided that it was Christmas morning and everyone had changed into their special Christmas jammies from Mimi and Bapo and waited patiently on the stairs for the festivities to begin. John was back in the land of the living.
There is the best video of Norah opening her gift. I think it is on John's phone. She has the biggest look of awe and she says, "Oh, my gosh mom...I've wanted one of these my whole life." Priceless.
The theme for gifts this year was burning energy and I am so grateful for it. The winter has just set it and we will use it over and over and over again .... WE LOVED IT ALL!!! Thanks so much for coming MIMI and BAPO!! We know you had a lot of places to visit and we were really glad that we were able to share these moments with you.
