Getting ready for Santa

In the days before Christmas, the kids and I found time to make cookies for Santa and make a gingerbread house.

Carter with the finished project. I need to try one from scratch next year, those box things were tough. We ended up having to prop it up outside to freeze in order for it to stay. We did have fun and next year, Abby can enjoy as well. When we made cookies, all Abby wanted were the sprinkles.

Carter was a little more hands on.

Serious business decorating for Santa.

Such sweet siblings. Then we headed out to Waffle House for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. We started this when I was pregnant for Abby and we have continued.

Then it was Christmas morning.. Carter work me up to let me know that it was light outside. Both had a great time opening gifts and seeing what Santa brought them. Carter loves his cars and Legos.

Abby was thrilled with her kitchen.

In the afternoon, we went to Nana and Gramp's house to celebrate Christmas.

The best picture that we could get of the four cousins.

Abby loved opening her presents...
