What a fun and memorable age for my 3 munchkins. Christmas time gets better each year with my trio. Here is the entire month of December in one blog post (ie. an obnoxious amount of photos of my cute kids).
Photos with Santa at the girls' preschool did not disappoint. I'm so happy with the way they turned out, I even included this photo on our Christmas card.
Playing around with cousin, Paisley at MeMe and Grandpops house.
Photos with Santa again with MeMe and GrandPops and Miss P.
Our very first family movie night was Polar Express. We ate popcorn and cuddled on the couch with the fire place going while watching a movie. It was so much fun and the girls loved it.
Red and white day at school.
We put these 3 to work cleaning up pine needles in our yard. They actually really enjoyed it and then of course getting to jump in the pile at the end.
I had to include this picture since it was "Classic Sassy Sam" face.
My in-laws neighborhood has a snow hill party every year and the girls had a blast. They made snowball, snow angels, sledded down a hill, ate snow cones, and stomped on "frozen rocks" (aka: ice cubes).
Snow cones on this warm December day.
After drying off and getting some dinner, we headed up to the local church having a Christmas festival. The girls chose to ride the ponies twice.
Christmas jammies at gymnastics.
We went to see the Second Baptist Christmas show "Under the Big Top". This is the only photo I took but I thought it was funny.
We drove to Alvin to ride the Christmas Train. We met up with my friends, Kara (and her family) and Leila.
Letters to Santa
On the train.
Baking Christmas cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve Eve.
Our Annual MBC Snowball fight did not disappoint. The girls participated so much more this year. They had a blast.
Christmas Eve we drove to Livingston to Brian's older brother's house. We ate, opened presents, and drove to Lake Livingston where we climbed "Rupunzel's Tower" and played on the playground. The swings were my favorite.
Pretending to nap on their new cots.
On Christmas Eve we sprinkled reindeer food in the front yard, put cookies out for Santa, and said goodbye to Pudding the elf.
I managed to snap a photo of Santa visiting out house!
Brian and I made sure to wake up extra early and be ready when the kids woke up. It seems at first they had actually forgotten that it was Christmas morning. Once they were reminded, they curiously yet tentatively burst open their door to head downstairs. They were so excited to see that Santa had come! I love seeing the magic of Christmas through their eyes.
Each of the girls was so excited to give her sisters their Christmas presents they had picked out. It was so sweet to see their excitement when they watched their sisters open their gifts. And then the "thank you"'s and "you're welcome"'s afterwards were enough to melt your heart.
They were also so excited for Mom and Dad to open gifts.
And more presents when Nana and Papa showed up.
After lunch we headed to my parents house.
Playing with bubbles and stickers.
Time for presents! The girls helped pass out and organize all of the gifts.
Playing ring-around-the-rosie. So cute!
Ready for bed in their new nightgowns. What a wonderful 4th Christmas for my girls.
On December 27, we got together with all of my high school friends for our annual Christmas. This is the face of a 3 year old when Elsa shows up to the party...
Hugs for everyone. The girls were beyond excited to see Elsa.
Elsa even did balloon animals and magic tricks!
I've known these ladies for a long time and when we get together its like we haven't lost a beat. Love these friends of mine.
For New Year's we headed to Columbus, TX to celebrate with my Mom's family.
What a fun and memorable Christmas time 2016 was. We shared many laughs, moments of excitement, and saw the magic of Christmas through my daughters' eyes. I love my family with all of my heart.
