Christmas cheer

The last couple of weeks have been magical at our home.  The kids have been full of Christmas cheer and I am loving it.  So many of these day have little moments that I hope we never forget.  The kids have filled our home and car rides with countless Christmas tunes.  Isa and Gabi mastered Silent Night for Gramma.  Will even put on a little show for us and had us sitting on the floor while he performed several songs!
  The kids also received a wonderful letter from Santa, a first for them, straight from the North Pole!  They were so excited to open and read it.  They were reminded how their elf Paco has been reporting back and letting Santa know all about their great deeds, but also reminding them to stay on the nice list.
 The kids have also loved spending time with family.  Gabi continually tells us that Chloe is her best friend.  It's real sweet they way they get along and play so well.  Love the little princesses!
 We also had a little neighborhood party.  The kids get along real well and they did great playing and entertaining each other.  They all loved the little gift exchange and the adults even had a nice peaceful meal together!
 One of our fun things to do for the holidays is baking cookies.  The girls were more than eager this year to help make, bake, and decorate with Mommy.  They did a wonderful job and we loved the time spent together!
The kids' last day of school was the 20th and they were real excited for their school Winter parties.  I am head room mom for Will's class, it was fun putting together the treat bags and gifts for the teachers!  Thank you Pinterest for many great ideas!

On the 21st, Tobin had a minor surgery to remove a small mass on his palm.  Back at home, he was in heaven cuddling with the kids on their first day of Christmas vacation.  perfect.
