Christmas 2017

We had a great Christmas season.  It started by decorating the house on Thanksgiving weekend.  Notice our tree is only half decorated-thank you Cole:) 

Christmas tree...what you do when you have toddlers

Alexis had a school program.  It was really cute.  Cole and Daddy waiting for it to start

Alexis was scared and didn't dance.  Her teachers said when they practiced she danced and sang:(

Almost every night that wasn't totally freezing we went for a walk to see Christmas lights. This was Alexis's favorite house. She loved the big Rudolph.

Surprise!  Danielle flew in from NY on Christmas Eve, snuck in the house and we didn't see her until Christmas morning.  Allen helped her plan the surprise.  It was surreal.  We were getting Skype ready so we could Skype with her...and she walked down the stairs.  Such a great surprise. 

Merry Christmas!  Coming downstairs on Christmas morning

Playing with their new kitchen

Alexis loved opening gifts. Cole loved the wrapping paper.  

New umbrella and glow in the dark Thomas the Train shirt

New butterfly bedding

The Castro's celebrated Christmas dinner with us. They gave Cole and Alexis a few gifts.

Merry Christmas

The kids watching TV. So cute how Alexis was with them

Skyping with Pat & Gene to open our gifts.  We loved all our gifts.  Alexis loves her doll and Cole loves his vacuum.

First time in the ball pit. They love playing in it.  Just not pick up all the balls:)

We had a great and fast Christmas season.  We took the Alvin Train Ride, celebrated at workout, at school, ate so many candy canes, saw Santa, Skyped with family to open gifts, celebrated with Trevor and Danielle and got to see our friends before they moved to CA. We will miss seeing the Castro's but with them luck in CA.  

Merry Christmas 2017!
