Christmas week was a nonstop party!! Nick had the whole and I mean WHOLE week off and we loved every second with him. The first half of the week we took just our little family and went up to the cabin. It was a blizzard the first day and the second was still super cold but the kids managed to play outside. They were out in snow clothes before we even got all our bags out of the car! Unfortunately, the snow was too fresh ad fluffy to make a snowman. The girls were a bit frustrated but the super long icicles distracted them. We drove home the day before Christmas Eve and had time to do some last minute shopping. We spent Christmas Eve at Tiffanys house with the Strobelts. IT was extremely peaceful and the kids loved playing with cousins. My favorite part was watching my two cute girls sing "picture of christmas" all by themselves. They new all the words by heart and it was so sweet.
We spent Christmas morning at our little house with just our kiddos. Scarlett was so excited she snuck down before everyone else to play with her Santa presents. I even put streamers across the stairs to stop her. She just untaped them and walked on down. OF course she felt bad and promised to never do it again. Still, I am sure she loved every second of seeing all those toys by herself! The girls each got a doll house and a doll bunk bed. It has been 4 days since Christmas and they have been playing nonstop!! We headed over to the Camps for Christmas dinner and then later int he evening walked across the street to open presents with the Strobelts. It was a nonstop day of fun and presents! My favorite moment of the day was when Nick had me open a huge package. I thought it was initially a new high chair but turned out to be a guitar!! I have been secretly wanting one for months and how he new will be a mystery. It has been so enjoyable to play for the girls each night and make up funny songs with them. I hope I learn to play primary songs and play for FHE every week. Lets call it my goal for 2016.
