2nd Annual Christmas Round Robin

So for the 2nd year in a row now, we have gone to everyone's house before the party to see their tree and enjoy a little snack/drink.  It is a fun tradition!

Andrea and Jason's

Mitchell and Jillian's

Santa Came...

This year Santa brought each kid 2 gifts... one toy that they asked for, and one pair of pajamas.  And filled their stockings with a bag of M&M's (just like he used to do for Kyle as a kid.)  Then from mom and dad they each got 4 gifts.  

Something they want,

 Something they need,

 Something to wear,

 Something to read.... 

This simplified version made things fun to open and they still got spoiled!

Cookies and Milk for Santa!

Magic Reindeer Dust for Rudolph and Friends!

After Mass, New Christmas Eve Tradition!

Tonight we made Gingerbread "sidewalks".  Basically like Gingerbread Houses, but less involved!  The kids has a lot of fun and were lucky to get some help from the experts, Grandma and Grandpa Bille.  We also frosted out Cookies for Santa, too!

 

Merry Christmas From The Bille's

So a Christmas Eve that will go down in history.... please note the outfit change of Kyle and Grace in the "after mass" photo.  Grace is basically potty trained and so is in underwear all the time now... except at night time of course.  Well she chose not to nap today and instead took a quick cat nap during Christmas Eve mass tonight.  She was sleeping on Kyle and you guessed it.  She peed over him.  To the point where he and Grace had to leave mass, go home to change and come back to pick us up.  Hence the outfit change.... never a dull moment!

Christmas Eve and NO SNOW!

Merry Christmas From Our Little Elves!

Taking Baby Jesus for a Ride!

We play a "fun" game in our house.  It's called, "Where's Baby Jesus?"  Gracie likes to take Baby Jesus on adventures around the house and he doesn't always make it back to his manger.  #littlepeoplenativity #takingbabyjesusforaride #hurricanegrace #haveyouseenbabyjesus
