Christmastime is here!
What a good time we had leading up to the birth of Christ.
We did some things but not too much.
We spent time at home enjoying the tree and lights.
Lydia found her love of the Holiday Baking Championship! Yes!
Matching pajamas for Lydia and Felicity!
Samantha is at the doll hospital for a leg reattachment. Ouch!
Lydia Rose, the swirling, twirling snowflake princess.
LVE 3rd Graders put on a mini rendition of the Nutcracker.
She nailed it. No anxiety. No stage fright. Smiles!
We surprised her by inviting grandparents, something we haven't done for past school events because she's typically so worried and anxious that she specifically asks for only mom and dad. Such improvement!
Annual Cookie Day with Grandma!
She rolls with the one handled rolling pin like Grandma.
I'm pretty sure that rolling pin was my Great Grandma Rose's.
This year we opted for a gingerbread donut shop!
Someone turned 8 1/2!!!
Someone turned 40!!!
We celebrated all weekend long with dinner out with my parents, a night at the symphony and more Christmas fun at Crown Center and Union Station.
Our annual trip to the KC Symphony Christmas Festival!
We made a staycation weekend out of it and stayed downtown.
We go to Crown Center and Union Station every year to look at the decorations and see the sights!
For a couple of years we saw Santa, but Lydia opts for mailing her letter these days.
Just waiting out the days, hours and minutes until Christmas!
