Our Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with our family a little early this year before heading to Ohio ...

 Griffin wrote Santa a letter asking if he could come early since we would be out of town on Christmas.

 It says, "St. Nick, Will you come tonight?  I want a police kit and money.  Grace wants a pacifier and a bath.  Hope you come! Love, Griffin and Grace"

 The kids made cookies for Santa and were excited to leave them out for him

 All set up!

 Grace hung our Santa key on our door so that Santa could get in ...

 ...and had to be carried up to bed!

 Grant got up extra early the next morning : )

 Waiting for Grace to wake up

 Taking selfies to kill time while waiting for Grace

 Grant's First Christmas!

 The hat is a bit ridiculous but he was festive!

 Griffin was so excited when he saw presents under the tree!

 Waiting for Grace (still)

 Grant had his eye on the presents!

 And she finally woke up!  They were excited to see what was in their stockings

 Grace opened animal crackers first and just sat there and ate them instead of seeing what else was in her stocking :)

Grace loves to hug Grant 

 Griffin was excited about tatoos from Santa

 And who wouldn't be excited about DocMcStuffins underwear?!

 Griffin and his police kit

 Grace and her baby pacifier

 She immediately ran to get her baby doll to give her the pacifier

 Checking out the flash light in his police kit

 Life is good. 

 So excited!

 Pretty sweet.

 Money from Santa

 Grace also asked for a baby bath from Santa

 They had fun playing with it

 This year Griffin and Grace bought each other gifts.  Grace wanted to buy Griffin a police boat (she knows him well) so we got lucky when we found one.

 He loved it!

 Griffin's gift to Grace

 He picked out a fire truck for her

 And she loved it!

 Josh and Grant

 They both got art bags

 And journals - they love to color these days

 One of Grace's favorite gifts was a microwave from my cousin

Playing with the baby bath ... it was a fun day!
