Christmas

The month of December was so festive starting off with getting our Christmas tree! It was a gorgeous day out (very mild) and we headed to our favorite place to get it. The girls ran through the rows of trees holding hands and creating such a great memory for Scott and me. Presley would run in fear every time the chainsaw what cut off a tree stump and she would jump in our arms!

Mid-December we headed to Hollywild for our 2nd annual trip to see the wild animals and lights! This place is like no other...really...you ride through a bunch of lights and then end up in a field of wild animals!! There are enormous cows (seriously the biggest I've ever seen and to be honest, a little freaky), zebras, donkeys, deer and horses. Then we got out of the car and went to see more of the animals that were in the petting zoo. Just as we did last year, we laughed so hard and had a great time!!

Presley was pumped!!

Every year the 1st weekend of December, my Dad and Edie come to visit for Christmas! We look forward to them coming so much and always love seeing them! We had a wonderful time catching up and the kids loved spending time with Pop Pop and Mom Mom! (Camera is not working so only pictures I have are from my phone!)

My Dad and Edie always send our children and my sisters kids matching pajamas to wear the night before Christmas. We all text each other to say Merry Christmas on xmas Eve and it has become a tradition that I look forward too!! I love seeing the new pajamas! This was the text that we sent out on Xmas Eve right before the kids went to bed.

Christmas morning was filled with fun, surprise, love and exhaustion!! :) The girls had a blast with all the new toys! Brooke loved opening her presents and also opening up Presley's too. Presley could have cared less about opening her presents! She would wait for Brooke to open and then check out what she got! So funny... After presents we went to my Mom's house and had a wonderful day with my sister and her family. We ate a delicious meal, the cousins all played, and we all got to catch up. Our new Christmas day tradition is so special to me.

Brooke is very into Barbie's and asked for her big house! She was so excited to see that Santa brought it! :)

One of her other big "wants" was a spider girl costume!! Wallah!....

The day after Christmas, Scott's Mom, (Mama Suz) came to visit for 4 days. We were so happy that she came down and it was so nice to spend such quality time with her. We miss you Mama Suz!!
