Christmas 2014

Christmas seemed like such  blur this year!  But here were some of the highlights:

Logan got to actually dance in the Christmas parade this year!  In years past she hasn't been old enough and has only gotten to ride on the float.  This was a huge treat for her.

We put up Christmas decorations and wore fun, festive clothes all season.  It was really fun dressing up two little boys this year and seeing some of Brody's old clothing items cycle back through.

  We had several mornings where we woke up early to make fun breakfast treats.  This was some kind of chocolate concoction we added to some waffles.

Christmas Eve we made our traditional Danish dinner.  The kids helped a TON this year!  I actually let them do the batter other than whipping the egg whites.  

Yum!!

The kids opened their Christmas PJ's and we got our pictures.

 It took a little bit of coaxing to get Lincoln into the shot, but once he got in he was all smiles.

Christmas morning brought lots of fun surprises.  Logan finally got her Isabelle doll!  She's been asking for it and reading through the stories.  She's a blond, blue eyed ballerina, perfect for our little ballerina.

I found this awesome car at a garage sale and it was a great deal, so we built a little garage for it outside and the kids were SO SURPRISED when they got to see it on Christmas morning.  It was a fun surprise!!

This was my favorite ornament this year.  I haven't had the kids make a whole lot of ornaments, but I wanted to capture Linc's chubby little hand, so I made some salt dough and did an impression.

We're looking forward to getting things back to normal again after the craziness of it all, but we had such a great Christmas and love each year getting to spend it with our kids more and more.
