December Catch Up - Part 2

December has been filled with lots of elf action!

Jolly Bells helped us countdown to Christmas with a paper chain...

And one morning she got into some donuts and had powdered sugar all over her!

Cute even with donuts on her :)

Never enough Sandy rides!

A fun family trip to the Manor House at Wildwood Park.

Running down the lane....

And maybe the best part, s'mores afterwards!

There was no coal to be found in Natalie's stocking.

Cute sisters, wearing mom's shoes!

Elf acrobatics..

The second year that we went to the Bethlehem Experience in town, great event at the Westgate Chapel!

Even the little ones were able to sit and see a short clip on the meaning I Christmas!

Activities in the Bethlehem marketplace...

It was time for a haircut!  Nat got a trim and Evie had her second haircut ever!

Also had some cooking time!  Thanks for our great new aprons Aunt Polly!!!

Sometimes serious.

Often times crazy!!

Everybody gets a turn!!!!love holiday baking :)

December Catch Up - Part 1

We've had some pretty busy weekends lately!  Sometimes the wake up from naps is rough :)

Here Evie tries to go back to sleep, but it's time to go to a birthday party!

After the party we went to the downtown sylvania Santa Claus arrival.

The historical village was open and we had to go visit the train!

Evie hanging out with the big snowman!

This was very good soap hair by Dad!

Natalie loves to look at the ornaments...

And so does Evie!

Also, we have a new addition to the family- our elf on the shelf is named Jolly Bells :)

The next day was a much anticipated event!  Disney on ice - princesses and heroes...Natalie wore her awesome Elsa outfit too!

Elsa and Ariel checking out the ice :)

Olaf head!

I think Evie was a bit excited!

Part of be our guest...

Lots of clapping, and waving from Evie!

Maleficent's dragon put fire on the ice.

Elsa got the ice to herself....

A beautiful carriage!

And the grand finale!!!

No wonder Evie was tired :)

Visit with Santa!!!

December is already flying!!!!  We met last night after work at Levis Commons for some Christmas fun...

The beautiful central tree :)

Waiting outside Santa's house....evie heard a little baby crying inside and got nervous.

Natalie was very excited to see Santa this year.  She asked for art painting projects.

Evie was willing to sneak in to a picture if she had some space!

I think she liked Mrs. Claus and the candy canes better!!

The whole avenue was decorated nicely, pretty to walk around!

Two cute girls and their proud Dad!  It's going to be a fun month!!!!!
