Holiday Extravaganza Part 1

We had such a fun & busy celebration of the holiday that I don’t know where to start with the recap. As Amanda mentioned Christmas anticipation is almost like a wedding….plan for a long time with building excitement for it to be here and gone in a day. But as we usually do with any celebration we prolong the fun into many opportunities to party!

Starting with Christmas Eve at Nana’s house with a pre party photo shoot since the kids were dressed in their finest and later arrived a very special visitor….

The kids weren’t sure what to think of Santa’s arrival, but Fiona warmed up fairly quickly & must have seen his sack of presents so was in a hurry to see him to his seat…

Busy night but the kids packed some cookies from the party &  (though I didn’t get a picture) emptied about 3 pounds of carrots out on the table for the 80…..er, 8 reindeer and off to bed.

Santa hooked them up….and was a bit forgiving this year if I do say…..:)
