Christmas Time 2012
This time of year is always magical and full of excitement and this year was no exception! Jaelyn and Elliana were busy getting ready for Santa, celebrating the advent, making cookies, doing family crafts and playing in the snow. Below is a snapshot of what December looked like in our family!
Letters and Visit to Santa
 |
| Jaelyn wrote Santa and asked for baby things while also telling Santa, "He has beautiful reindeer!" |
 |
| Elliana would be happy with a box full of meme's (aka pacifiers), but did ask for a book and something to play with! |
 |
| The family went to Kendrick Mansion to visit Father Christmas, drink cider, eat figgy pudding and listen to music for an old fashioned Christmas! |
Jaelyn's Christmas Concerts

Making Cookies and Gingerbread Houses
 |
| I have definitely gone from one little helper to two little helpers! I love it, and so do the girls! Here we are making pancakes and Christmas Cookies! It was breakfast time and we were getting the kitchen dirty, so I thought "why not do cookies too!" |
 |
| Jaelyn is a great helper! |
 |
| ...And taste tester! |
 |
| Elliana is there for the food and to always give us a good laugh! |
 |
| I have been reading blogs lately, and many of them do so many cute and creative things around Christmas (I have to ask where do they find the time???), but we did make time for gingerbread houses! Here Daddy and Elliana are on Team Pigtails to create their gingerbread house and have some friendly, family competition!!! |
 |
| Jaelyn and I were on the "Pink Girl Team!" I have to say we were a great team and had so much fun! |
 |
Here is the final product!! Jaelyn and mommy clearly are the winners;)
Christmas Time
|
 |
| Grandma and Papa came in for Christmas, and Grandma had to bake Christmas cookies with the girls! They were delicious! |
 |
| Jaelyn loves, loves, loves clothes! Here is outfit number 4 or 5 and it is not even dinner time!?! This girl changes her clothes more times in one day! |
 |
| Opening a present Christmas Eve...a tradition to carry on with my girls! |

In the end this was yet another wonderful Christmas full of blessings, love, family and cooking! We aer so thankful for everyone in our life and being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Many blessing to all! |
