Here is our cute Homer!

Santa brought Chloe the American Girl Doll Bitty Twins. She named them Wendy and Caroline.

Santa brought Kyle a basketball goal, and he has practiced and practiced for the last 2 days! We have all had fun having basket shooting contests with eachother!

Chloe loved playing in the snow! We had snowball fights and attempted to make a snowman, but the snow seemed too powdery to stick together. Kyle preferred to stay inside and play with his cars than to play in the snow!

Santa searched all over Ebay for a Lite Brite model from the 70s and 80s. After bidding on many of them, he finally won a 1984 Lite Brite for Chloe. It included all the original unused pictures!!

This is a picture of my dad and I playing with a Lite Brite on Christmas morning in 1980. I was 6 years old.

This was such a fun Christmas with the kids! They really got in the spirit of it all!

The Elf on the Shelf came to visit our house for the first time on Thanksgiving morning. They called him a few different names until one of them finally stuck with both of them....they named him Buddy! (They love the movie, ELF!) Buddy made sure they were good and brought them a little candy cane each day if they had been good the day before.

Chloe wanted one of us to read The Christmas Story to her every night. Kyle enjoyed it, too, and he would go show us Baby Jesus in our Nativity set.

We spent Christmas Eve with my side of the family and Christmas Day with Everett's side. Christmas morning was spent opening presents from Santa and playing in the SNOW!
