Holidays 2013

We did a lot of fun things over the holidays and one of the first things the kids start asking about is when we can make the gingerbread house! So one more morning after breakfast we started decorating! Molly and Grace each picked a side of the roof to design and Ben got to decorate the little gingerbread men. They did great working together and had tons of fun!











Another fun thing we did in December was go to the KC Ballet's Sugar Plum Fairy Luncheon and the Nutcracker matinee. Both of the girls were so excited to go! and so was I! Aunt Christa was the MC for the event and read the Nutcracker story while the ballerinas danced. Before the luncheon we took pictures with real ballerinas, bought tickets for a raffle and got our faces painted. After listening to the story both of the girls got to go on stage and help Aunt Christa draw names for the raffle. The luncheon ended with a big dance party which the girls LOVED! Then we went to the Kansas City Ballet production of the Nutcracker at the Kauffman center. We all loved watching the performance.



















Christmas Eve:
Gigi and Papa came into town on Christmas eve and we were so excited for their arrival! As soon as they got into town we all went to dinner at Talk of the Town and then came home for Gigi to read "The Night Before Christmas"..When we got home we left Santa his cookies then off to bed so santa could come! 





Christmas Day:
Daniel and I woke up around 7:00 and all of the kiddos were still fast asleep! Any other day Grace would be awake by 6:30 so we were very surprised that she wasn't awake yet! Molly was the first to wake up and then Grace and Ben finally woke up around 8:00. We all had a great morning!















Molly got a notepad and colored pencil set from Santa and she immediately started writing her christmas thank you notes..at 8:30 am.






Santa brought everything we asked for...Grace's list: Castle, Mini Ipad, Legos, and Books.
Molly's list: Mini Ipad, Ivy and Bean books, new pjs, I tunes cards
Ben's list: Bulldozer, Firetruck, and trains.
