Christmas Time!

We went on a great vacation to Disney World the week after Thanksgiving, and I have been working through all of the pictures for the blog. Now I'm getting further behind with posting all of our Christmas fun. So I'm skipping the Disney post until after the holidays are over so that I'm not posting Christmas stuff in February!

To start with our letters to Santa. Rylan wrote his letter this year. He was over it after the first sentence but he did finish it. The kids put their letters in their stockings and then Perry their elf that comes to visit during December takes it back to Santa. They also send wrapping paper to Santa so he wraps their gifts in that paper. It was especially handy before Rylan could read his name. It still is great though since Austin can't read yet. Then the boys know right away what gifts are theirs and if it came from Santa.

The boys are so ready for Christmas and Rylan is thrilled it is this week! Here are pictures of them getting ready for Santa.

Dear Santa,

I love how I apparently took the picture of Austin's letter before finishing it. Nice!


Stocking are ready.


Setting up for Santa.



Ready to put up stockings.


All ready for Santa. Again, after I took this picture I moved Gigo's stocking to the other side so the grandma's stockings had their own hook. I guess I was just camera happy that day.
