Christmas Memories

My dress up girls- Elaina likes to wear the "tree skirt" every year before we put it under the Christmas tree!

Jammin' Santa with his Red Nosed sidekick

A neighborhood visit from Santa on the firetruck!

A favorite tradition- decorating gingerbread houses

One of the kids took this picture at some point- I guess they love our fireplace/mantle decor at Christmas as much as I do!

Christmas Eve 2014

Santa pancakes on Christmas morning!!

These are a few of their favorite things...



Erik and I had a fantastic trip to Niagra Falls over the break!

There was a rainbow in front of Rainbow Bridge!!

They were so creative with our penguin magnet this year- everyday it was something different.
Audrey's is a rock star,

Elaina's is a pirate

and Owen's is an alien.

Our family enjoys pretending about Santa and Audrey had fun visiting him!  She didn't get her wish of "a real baby cheetah who doesn't grow up and is always nice to her," though!

Audrey has her yellow stripe belt!

The girls had a fun time at their dance Christmas party performing their dances.  Audrey's was to "Holly Jolly Christmas."

Elaina danced to "O Come All Ye Faithful" (ballet) and a jazzy version of "Away in A Manger"

Owen's chillin' on another of his favorite gifts!

The girls are sporting their hat/scarf/mitten combos on the way to the bus stop!
