Christmas

J's photo with Santa
Taken at the Security Home Mortgage Company Christmas party!
The jolly fat guy was actually played by none other than our very own loan officer!
"Hello J, what do you want for Christmas?"
J says nothing but reaches for the candy cane he's been waiting for...

J with Buddy the Elf
Our home finance company is seriously amazing! They had a Christmas party today, with free pictures with Santa AND Buddy the elf (from the movie)! They had mint brownies, white chocolate chip cookies, red velvet cupcakes, crayons with coloring pages, and a basketball toss for the kids. And they actually started early enough that Nate was awake and we could go!

What Christmas morning should look like :) Our christmas was actually not quite like this. In recovery from all the excitement of chrismas eve the kids weren't actually in the new PJs, neither of us wore our robes and the day was spent just eating the goodies from our stocking and playing the nintendo games that Nate and I gifted ourselves.

Thanks to this gift from Grams and Gramps Blake our stocking goodies were very tasty! We had 2 flavors of non-msg beef jerky, 7 different flavors of all-natural fruit leathers, some sugary delicious dried mango, some freeze dried bananas, some raisens, some wheat free/rice free chocolate chip cookies, and some hot cocoa. 

And after the kids were in bed for the night, Nate and I made ourselves feel posh,
 in our robes and goblets full of Martinelle's Sparkling Apple-Grape. Yum.

Sweet P asleep in the car seat. So precious!

J is silly about the Christmas hats, wants to wear them ALL the time.
