All the Christmas Cheer


We kicked off our holiday season in St. Louis for Thanksgiving and Jillian's 7th Birthday!
Love these girls and the fun we all have together.


Dear Santa, I can explain!
Saint Nick visited on the 6th!


Our neighbors gifted us a sweet Christmas experience!  
The Gingerbread House kit is complete!
Next up hot chocolate bomb making kit!
All while drinking many cups of hot cocoa in elf mugs!


Lights on Farmstead Lane!
We spread out the tree decorating for 3 nights because mom sticks to bedtime.




A little Riggs Family Christmas artwork.
If you see a piece you like, name your price.
You can see that one is signed by the artist.


Cookie day fun with Grandma ... 7th year for Lydia, 38th year for me, Mom's not counting! 
Followed by finding the leaves PaPa missed and throwing them everywhere.



Someone celebrated a half birthday at school!  Lydia turned 6.5 years old on the 14th and we gifted her 24 brand new black sharpies.  We're nuts!  She is very into drawing and following along with Drawing for Kids.  Her classmates made her a birthday book and she wore this hat all day.



This is Lydia's gift wrap and artwork present for Mom and Dad.  She was so excited to gift it to us she let me open it then wrapped it back up for Dad to open when he got home!


We got to go to the KC Symphony Christmas Festival again this year!
Oh how we missed it last year.  Such a special time for us. 
We sit right behind the horns so Dad can be thoroughly interested, 
so Mom can watch the conductor because he's amazing, 
and so Lydia can have some room to dance around next to our seats
...it's a row of 3 made just for us.

And now we are just counting down the days until Jesus's birthday!

Inside Out: Lydia's Version

Anxiety - yep, about most things. Envy - uh huh, and wondering why she's different. (scars, treatments, growth hormone shots, CPAP, IE...
