Christmas Time is here....

The boys were very excited to see Santa this year... They rambled off thier wish lists to him and even asked him what he wanted which tickled the jolly man. They were even good while we waited in line... Philip even signed his letter.








After seeing Santa we went and drove thru the Symphony of Lights in Columbia. The boys just loved it! They kept yelling, 'look on my side', 'no, look on my side' They have always loved taking the drive thru the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights.
The boys decided that we needed a few more decorations last minute, so Brent just before he had to go to work, Christmas Eve helped the boys add some extra lights to the bannister of the staircase. They even helped me make and bake this year. They couldn't wait for Christmas to come this year!

This was the 'mountain of fudge' that I made for Christmas. We also had Chocolate Chip Cookies, Spritz Cookies, Sugar Cookies, No Bake Cookies, Salsa, Cheese Dip, Guac & Chips French Onion Dip & Chips, The Full Taco Bar, Beans & Rice, Sasuage Cheese Balls and a few other things...We do Christmas eve bigger than Christmas Dinner, because we have lots of people over on the Eve and it's normally just us on Christmas Day. And in the grand tradition we play games and eat all night! And this year Santa's elves were NOT up all night wrapping for Santa!!! A major bonus this year!
And there's always something to laugh at! This hopefully will be the last year that the Santa apron looks like Santa! (Thanks Mia) And Jeff, our preacher came over in his sock monkey onesie. They were a riot!! And they also provided the Christmas miracle....ICE!!!
