The Business of Christmas

Christmas is some serious business at our place!

There are phone calls to airlines.


Keeping warm from the cold.


Making sure the kids still know who's boss (Anna).


Enjoying the holiday treats.


Practicing catching Santa in the act (playing peek-a-boo around the corner)


Multi-tasking is a must at this time.  Anna stretches while retrieving precious toys.


Christmas Ornaments must be made.  Don't forget the paint!


Don't forget other Christmas art!  Sneeky painters (seriously, I moved the ornaments to dry and I turn around and they are both covered in water colors and finger paints.)


Good thing they were non-toxic


Decorating our tree.


Showing Mom that we deserve our gifts by serving each other.


Hiding when we are Naughty so Santa Doesn't see us.  Not a good enough hiding spot, sorry!


School parties


Our early Christmas was a hit.  Eli said he loves ALL of his presents the same.  This truly seems to be the case as he plays with them all equally!  Anna's smash hit gift was the stroller!  See how motherly she is.  This is REALLY how she prefers to travel (with the stroller, but mommy still holding her).  2 1/2 days until we are on our way to Utah for more Christmas fun with my family who I love OH SO MUCH!!!!  Can't wait!
