Christmas in your 20s sucks doesn't it?
Well, it's on again. Having kids turns on all the magic.
We had a fantastic time visiting family and then returning home to spend Christmas Eve and the rest of winter break at home. This was a good choice since Amelia is getting old enough to really have fun with the idea of Christmas. We tried to really play up all the good stuff...cookie making, decorating the tree, gingerbread houses, picking out presents, making ornaments, leaving cookies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer etc.
We also switched the kids into the same room, so we decorated a little and made it festive!
Santa and his Reindeer came!
We read The Night Before Christmas, per tradition.
And made tacos for dinner!
Since we put both kids in the bedroom, we had room in the loft for Dan to make me a big sewing table.
And here are all the happy kids with their presents pictures:
