Christmas is getting so close and I can hardly wait. But before we celebrate the big day, we had a few things to check off our holiday bucket list.
On Saturday we had pizza with Santa. I got the kids dressed in their cute little Christmas outfits and we met some friends at the pizza parlor.
Here is Bailey in her Christmas outfit. I love her tutu. Its so fun to get her dressed everyday!
Here is Tanner in his "Jingle Bell Rocker" shirt.
He loved it. He kept singin' "Jingle Bell Rock" all day.
We picked up Uncle David on our way. My kids are so happy to have their Uncle David home.
Bailey and I waiting to see Santa
Even Chris got to meet us for pizza during his lunch break.
Here's Bailey with Santa. She wasn't scared of him at all after he gave her that candy cane. She was quite content sitting on his lap.
Kiddos with Santa
Love this shot of Tanner talking to Santa. He told Santa he wanted "toys" for Christmas. When Santa asked what toys he wanted, Tanner replied "I don't know".
Haha. The only thing he told me he wanted for Christmas was "Star Wars pods" and "Bubbles". Pretty easy kid to please.
And here's Bailey telling Santa her Christmas list.
Kids lovin on the Santa
Then on Tuesday the kids found their tickets for the "Minivan Express" while they were getting ready for bed.
Tanner was so excited when he found out what the tickets were for. I told him they were tickets to get in Nanny's minivan and drive to see Christmas lights. He was so excited. We had hot cocoa in their sippy cups and they were dressed in their Christmas pj's already so when Nanny and Papa pulled up, we were ready to go.
Here we are right before we loaded up in the minivan
Tanner giving Nanny his ticket so he could board.
Bailey boarding.
Kids in the car, all ready to go. Bailey was chugging her hot cocoa.
So excited!
Tanner loved looking at all the lights. He told us he loved the blue lights the best.
Here is one of the yards that was full of lights and Christmas inflatables. Tanner loved this yard.
After we got home, Papa read the kids their Christmas book for the night and they were off to bed. How cute is this picture though?
We had a great time. We saw some really great lights. Some houses were even set to music. Oh and the old truck done up like "Mater" from cars that has lights that dance to music. So fun. Tanner insisted we sign Christmas carols for the entire last half of our trip.
On Thursday the kids and I made our annual gingerbread house. Only this year it was a gingerbread train. Tanner is still obsessed with trains so it was perfect.
Look at this sneaky little face. He loved adding the candy.
Almost done. He had so much fun.
So intent on his important candy placement.
Kids and I with the finished product
Tanner with his train.
Now that's its finished we'll wait til Christmas eve and the kids will smash it with hammers and eat it. That's the tradition anyways.
I finally finished the kids Christmas letters.
Here's Bailey's letter
Tanner's letter
How precious is this picture? I absolutely adore these kids and i love even more that they adore each other so much.
Then last night we had a Christmas pizza movie night.
Tanner helped me make it and he was so excited about it.
Pretty cute huh?
Look at that face, he couldn't wait to eat it.
Here are the kids and I snuggled up watching our Christmas movie, "Frosty the Snowman", hence the snowman pizza.
Then here are the kids today in their Christmas church outfits. They looked so stinking cute at church today-- all dolled up. Love it!
Bailey's sweet ruffle dress
My little stud

Well Christmas is only 3 days away, can hardly believe it! Merry Christmas everyone!
