Painting bird houses for Gma and Gpa's gift. We are trying to make more presents this year.

Santa came! Or so we thought it would appear. I forgot the fake snow at my mom's and improvised with flour in front of the fireplace. Tate and Benny were inclined to believe they were Santa's footprints in snow, but Gracie was like "wow! Santa got into our flour and made a mess! Why did he do that?" *sigh*
Christmas morning:
Gracie's new microphone (why did Santa think that was a good idea?!) led to many morning announcements.

We had dinner at Grammy's that night and stayed overnight. It's a lot of driving going back and forth Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We like to take the day off after Christmas and be lazy in our pj's all day. We finally headed back and the kids passed out. Three days of no naps and late bedtimes were wearing on us all. The kids and I had until Jan 3rd for break and daddy went back to work the 27th. That was when Benny got his first stitches, but that's for another time. Christmas was a crazy time, but really fun. Who knows how many more years we'll have before the magic is gone!
