Christmas Part 1

 It's been another fun December! Busy, but the best kind of busy! Here's a look at our month leading up to Christmas.

The annual Bluffton Christmas parade is something we never miss! The kids love it. 
We attended several Christmas parties (kid free!). 
 We did a lot of Christmas crafting this year. This one was probably my favorite!
 Since we were spending Christmas day away from home, we decided to do a mock Christmas morning at our house the week before we left. It worked perfectly, and the kids got to enjoy their gifts from us for several days before leaving town. 

Wall-e the elf made a lasting impression! It was so fun for both us and the kids. 
 I spent an evening in the kitchen with two of my favorite ladies. We decorated 11 dozen sugar cookies, and had fun doing it!
We hosted a Christmas dinner with Nana, Pop Pop, GG & Goomba at our house. It was nice to be able to celebrate together before we all headed off in different directions for Christmas. I did a traditional brunch meal, and then the kids opened some presents. 

It was a really special time together, and we're so thankful to have family close by. 

We finished up with Eli's school Christmas program. He was so excited to perform for us! GG, Goomba and Nana came to watch, and he was so tickled. He proved again that he has not a single ounce of stage fright, and sang his little heart out. So proud!
