Two weeks into December, Caroline had a little breathing emergency so she and I ended up in the ER one evening, unfortunately the same night the littles had their Christmas pageant. Thankfully Patrick was able to get them all ready and took some sweet pictures for me.
We have a great house in our old neighborhood that has an awesome light show set to fun music, we went there multiple times over the course of December.
Elfie found lots of fun hiding places, and even played a few fun tricks!
We had pictures taken with Santa
and loved playing will all the games in line

after our pictures we headed to the old spaghetti factory to eat in the caboose, the kids LOVED it!

Christmas Morning.....SANTA CAME!
my three favorite presents
Santa left Coop the Paw Patroller
Santa left a princess bike for Scarlett
Santa left a pottery set for Caroline
Santa also left the air patroller and a new ninja turtle bike
Santa also left Scarlett an American Girl Doll (knockoff)
and Caroline's one request from Santa was a gymnastics mat......he delivered!
after Santa presents and the rest of the gifts under the tree it was time for stockings!
I surprised (thanks to our awesome neighbors) Patrick with a fancy new grill

They LOVED their boogie boards from Uncle Tommy and Aunt Paige

It was another wonderful holiday. We couldn't be more blessed.
