Christmas in March

I just realized I never blogged about Christmas.  We had a great holiday season filled with f+f (family and  friends), hot chocolate bars, mischievous elves, and lots of twinkle lights.

Cooper was so much fun this year.  He wanted a Cars bike helmet and Buzz Lightyear sheets from Santa...check and check.  Dave also arranged for Santa to call Cooper on the phone which was basically the cutest thing EVER.  He was beyond excited!!  Cooper loved driving around at night and looking at all the decorations.    

Sloan was the perfect little elf and a great wrapping buddy.  As a family, we tried to savor the simple joys of the season.  We made Christmas cookies in our pjs, read lots of holiday books, and had candy sleigh races in the family room.

We spent Christmas Eve with Dave's family (these pictures are still on Dave's phone).  Christmas morning was spent with our little family of four (I still LOVE that new number), and then Christmas afternoon was spent with my family.  

The traditional parade down the stairs to see what Santa brought. 

Sloan's first Christmas and her first baby doll from Santa. 

Cooper was pretty pumped about his Spiderman and Woody pjs.

Dave was equally thrilled with his Kit Kats.  It doesn't take much to thrill us!

Tamtam and Poppa gave Cooper this grabber.  Enter our house with caution.  The novelty of this toy hasn't worn off and you just might get pinched!
