Merry Christmas!

The kids all made the good list this year... It was touch and go for a while, but they were able to pull it off in the end :-) We've had an awesome couple of days and are super excited to leave tomorrow for Florida for the next week. The girls finally get the hang of Santa I think - or at least that he brings presents. They like unwrapping the gifts and then subsequently either trying everything on or playing with everything within 1 second of opening. Declan loved every moment of Christmas and was thrilled to see that he made the good list as well :-)

Here are a few photos from the last few days... Aven in her big bros glasses...

Stevie and her BFF Auntie Em. Stevie is literally obsessed with Auntie Em. When Em leaves, she asked "where's Em," when she walks out of the room she asks "where's Em," when she takes a nap or goes to bed she asks "where Em," when she wakes up she asks "where's Em." You get the picture...  When Em is here she has a permanent body part attached to her, named Stevie.

Santa visit was a success this year! Aven wasn't so sure, but surprisingly the other two girls were okay. However, Stevie was only okay because her brother held her and then let her sit on his lap.

All the kids before our family tradition of seeing lights Xmas eve. L to R: Stevie, Bria, Aven and Declan.

Auntie Em before seeing lights - sippy cup of wine :-)

All the family in the car - the girls are behind us, you just can't see them :-)

Probably one of the funnier family trips that we've had :-)

My birthday cake was a little belated, but we still ate it! Declan picked out my cake!

L to R: Bria, Stevie & Aven... This was what they wore to bed last night. Aven wore her tutu all night long and Bria wore her robe. Love these girls.
