Christmas–my favorite time of year! We drove through a fun light display, visited Santa, went to family and work parties, made a gingerbread house, attended school programs, wrapped gifts, and just had the best time!
Decorating the tree very carefully.
Hi, cute boy!
We even made a yule log!
Turns out Easton loves playing dreidel!
Amelie as one of the Crachit children during a holiday program.
Our little drummer boy. At least one child is looking at the camera and smiling, even if it’s not our child.
The cutest little lamb ever.
Calder’s part was officially titled, “Small Boy.”
A fun evening with Grandma and Grandpa Haymond! It was at this very moment that Easton pulled this nice button down shirt and said, “This looks like something a dead guy would wear!” 4 year-olds…
Liam with his new Buzz toy. Only one of his favorite characters ever.
Santa brought Calder batteries so that he could finally play with Bryce’s super cool remote control car that’s been sitting in our closet for years.
With her new art set.
A train table!
This chocolate has beef jerky in it. And Bryce loved it. Seriously.
Hugs for Tigger! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Austin!
A tradition passed down through the Haymond family. Everyone gets a box of their favorite cereal.
Having a deep conversation with Santa.
All Liam knew was that he should smile for the camera. And that this guy gave him a big candy cane. Pretty great in his book!
The house. I let the kids handle all the decorating this year. Well, I wrote those letters, but other than that. The gingerbread is an Austin tradition that we love.
Ornament cupcakes for Christmas Day.
And last but not least, the game Pie Face from Aunt Bobbe and Uncle Walter. You spin to see how many times you have to turn the handle, click the handle, and wonder if the next click will send the whipped cream smack into your face. In other words, the kids are crazy about it.
What a great time of year!
