As always, we started the season with picking out our Christmas tree. Decorating is always a big hit! This year we even added a small tree for the kids to decorate ( I didn't even make adjustments to their ornament placement).
Aidy and I enjoyed our first trip together to The Nutcracker Ballet. It was such an amazing feeling to begin a tradition with her in memory of my Nana that we will enjoy together each year.
We enjoyed a trip to Leavenworth where we met up with Grandma and Papa for a night. The kids each picked out their yearly ornament at the Kris Kringle store.
The little ones and I had a quick early visit with Santa and got to meet his reindeer.
A quick trip for a few nights was spent in Blaine and there was plenty of snow on the ground which made the hot tub even more appealing.
A visit with Santa is a must and we were lucky to have family photos done as well!
We went to Lake Tapps for Christmas Eve with the Vaughn's and then enjoyed Christmas day at home. It was a wonderful morning and each and every year we love to see the excitement in our little ones eyes as they open their gifts. We strive to find gifts they will cherish or use for years to come and always feel like we accomplish that goal.
Knox, Trig, Aidy and I rang in the new year while dad was on shift.
