December Days

December was a long, busy month full of fun activities,visitors, sick kiddos, and Christmas Spirit :)

Savannah started preschool at her new school Hope Preschool. She loves it!!

Showing off her new school playground...

Little lunch helper :)

Elf on the Shelf is back!

Cold days inside playing, unpacking, and decorating for Christmas...

Picnic lunch...

Round 2 of Strep for the girls... lots of time spent at the doctor over the next couple of months...

Savannah pretending to take a nap at school. She loves that in her new school she gets to stay for lunch and rest time! And for the first time in four years, the girls are both in school for more than 3 hours! :)

First date night since we moved to Memphis!...so nice to have a Gigi babysitter in town!

Polar Express Pajama Day at school. Just Kidding, Savannah's wasn't until next week, but she looked cute in her pajamas a week early :)

Chic fil A lunch date with this cutie...

Now we are ready for the real Polar Express party...

Sweet pictures at Savannah's school!...

We drove through Starry Nights with Gigi and Grandude. Fun, freezing night!

The girls first hot chocolate...

Santa came to Gigi's school and we got to meet him!

Sweet girls with their elves...

We had a great, quick visit from Mimi and opened our Meece side of the family Christmas presents. Savannah later refereed to the entire weekend as Mimi's Christmas :) Unfortunately, Skylar was sick with some sort of stomach bug while Mimi was visiting, so she spent lots of time helping keeping up with sick laundry and playing with Savannah while we spent hours at the doctor. 

The girls LOVED their new sleeping bags from Mimi!

Wake up hair :)

Christmas Eve! Tyler was at work all day on Christmas Eve day, but we had a fun visit from KT and Matt and the kids. Then Christmas Eve night Gigi and Grandude came over and spent the night. 

Excited girls!...

Last minute cookies for Santa...he doesn't care though :)

The girls got to open an early Christmas present from Tyler's Aunt Jill and Uncle Paul...

Leaving Santa's reindeer some food in the backyard...

Family picture attempts...

Of course the camera comes out and Savannah immediately goes crazy and silly or pouts and tries to walk away because she doesn't want to take a picture. 

Oh well! :) .....

Gigi and Grandude and the girls...
