We kicked off our Christmas Season with letter writing to Santa.
Lydia was sure to get a really good shiner at school that stuck around the entire month.
We decorated the tree together after preschool church one Sunday.
Lydia is showing off her Forky ornament, front and center.
Gingerbread House time! Lydia was a huge help this year and put all the decorations on herself.
We had our traditional cookie day with Grandma and Lydia was Head Sprinkle Decorator!
Crown Center Santa at Gingerbread Station, followed by lunch, a visit to Union Station and Charlie Brown Christmas at The Coeterie theater. We enjoyed a really good day together, despite the cold that was setting in for Lydia and me, and her feelings toward Santa.
About that cold. Lydia stayed home from school for a week. I powered through and then ended up with a sinus infection and two days at home sick the next week.
SNOW DAY!
Lydia was the Angel in the Nativity Play this year. She had to memorize lines and knew them by heart. Then she missed a week of school and didn't get to practice with her class. She was so proud of herself and happy to see her family. Then it was time for her lines...and she decided to sit on mommy's lap instead.
Christmas Party and Preschool!
Dan, Lydia and I went to the Christmas Festival at the Symphony and I think we will each and every year. What a spectacular night and fun time we had!
While mom and gma were off making cinnamon rolls at the Culinary Center, Dad and Lydia had a snow ball fight and built snowmen!
Christmas Eve! Reindeer Games at daycare! Dinner and presents with Grandma and Papa!
Lydia got her grocery shopping cart! She then wondered why Santa didn't leave her a big one like they have at Hy-Vee. We had lunch and presents with Nana and Papa, then visited Aunt Angel and Uncle Brian for more presents, games and snacks.
We celebrated with Aunt Jen and Uncle Brian the weekend after Christmas and played games, played card, played kitchen and played puzzles. Lydia did not want to see them leave.
