Christmas Holidays 2014

Cuties on Christmas Eve! 
We spent the day at home decorating cookies, playing, and waiting for everyone to come over/get off work so we could start our Christmas Eve celebrating! :)


Reindeer cookies for Santa! 
Christmas Eve night we had a little unintended stop at the ER ;( 
We were playing and hanging out in the kitchen while our delicious dips, rolls, and perfectly marinated beef tenderloin were finishing cooking :) ...when all of a sudden Savannah accidentally ran her head into the corner of the table and started gushing blood. Poor thing! We thought she might need stitches and since it was Christmas Eve, our only option was to head to the emergency room. Uncle Lee went with us for moral support :) They ended up just gluing the cut back together, and now she just has a little white scar to show for it. She didn't love the glue and had a rough time for a little bit, but overall she was a trooper! 
She got a cookie treat while we were waiting...
We were there a couple hours, but got home and still enjoyed some yummy dinner and celebrating...
Back home and back to her normal, wild self! Uncle Lee let the girls open his present early and she was so excited about her new Stuffie!!

Then Santa came!...


Christmas morning with everyone...
We opened presents, enjoyed a yummy breakfast, and the girls loved staying in pjs and playing with their new toys all day!









Ryan and Jenny and the boys made it! 
Uncle Tyler and Will snuggling...
Gigi and grandkids and Stuffie :) 
More Christmas! 



All the cousins and their Stuffies! 
We also got to take a carriage ride through Starry Nights while everyone was in town visiting! We have driven through it before, but this was our first carriage ride and they loved it! Everyone bundled up and piled in tight for the ride.. 












The only downside to the carriage ride- My phone, smashed by a horse :( That I wrapped in packing tape and used for days even though I could hardly see anything lol... 
Coloring their new floor puzzle together...
Ready for church...
Enjoying Christmas Break at home with her new best friend, unicorn Stuffie :) 
Tea Party time...

We took this picture on New Years Eve as a joke to send to everyone because we all looked so rough and were just hanging out at home with no exciting NYE plans. But now that it's 10 months later and I'm just now writing this, I actually can't think of a better way to end the year together! :)

December 2014

Savannah is starting off the month right with a post Krogering donut treat! :)
Can't believe it's hat season already!
Before school pics :)
Picking out a Christmas Tree at Lowes...

Making signs for Tyler's St. Jude Half Marathon race...
This one was an attention grabber lol- lots of runners were trying to read it as they ran by..

Tyler did great in the race and raised $500 for St. Jude. I can't think of a better reason to run!


This chic little cutie in her gray and black...
We are decorated and ready to start our morning Christmas Tree pics ;)
Skylar's 1st grade class!

We got to meet Santa Grizz! Skylar was too excited to pose. We were bringing toys for a toy drive hosted by the Grizzlies and were hoping to meet some of the players too, but these girls weren't feeling the two hour wait :)

Savannah at school before her Christmas Program..
Walking into her program.. She was excited to see everyone!
Such a sweet program!

Enjoying her cookie and lemonade refreshments after the program.
I wish she could stay this sweet little girl forever!



She really wished Skylar could have been there too, but she was excited that Gigi and Granddude got to come...
Close scoring Grizzlies game!...
Savannah was so excited to be making cupcakes in her Easy Bake oven from Fegan!
