Christmas is in the air...

One Saturday evening, we took a walk around the Mission Inn. The lights were glowing beautifully, the air was crisp, everyone was feeling cheerful and full of the Christmas spirit...except for my kids. These darling pretzel snowmen brought us some cheer as we dipped and decorated each salty stick.
Then the letters from Santa arrived. Who knew that he had so much info! We believe in Santa, we believe!

We hosted Christmas Eve dinner at our house....oh wait, and Christmas breakfast....and Christmas Dinner. It was so much fun being home and having everyone join us!

Of course, the Christmas Eve PJ's...

Christmas morning came way too early. Andrew woke at 5:30am to find his Aunt Traci and her dog "Minni" sleeping in his room. "Arf, arf!" That was all the sleeping for him (he loves dogs)...well until about 7am when the others woke to find Santa had brought them the Wii that they had begged and pleaded for. The rest is a blur of wrapping paper, gifts, family and food!
