Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is getting more and more fun every year at Grandma and Grandpas house with all of the grand kids. Its a little chaotic but lots of fun =)

They were having way too much fun jumping off the ottoman..

Yes that is spit coming out of his mouth. Cayden will do just about anything to get a laugh out of someone =/

Present time!!

Xmas Eve family pics!

We were a little late on getting Cayden's Christmas list out to Santa so we wrote it on Christmas Eve and had Mr. Elf take it with him back to the North Poll =)

Before we left to Mike's parents we thought we would snap a few family pics..

We also left cookies and milk a little early because we knew we would be getting back late..

Cristmas dinner at Nana and Far Fars

We celebrated Christmas at my Nana and Far Far's the Sunday before Christmas. We enjoyed a fun night with yummy food, family, and our favorite tradition the dice game =)

Christmas parade!

I always look forward to the parade every year in the city where I grew up. I think it's mainly because I know how much Cayden really enjoys it. This year my Sister, Mom, and Nana were able to make it!

Cayden was able to give Gumbie a high five..

After the parade we went had some lunch at Chick Fil A. Ellie was able to sit in a high chair for the first time =)

We all had a great time!

Santa at Bass Pro Shop!

We headed over to Bass Pro Shop on December 12th to see Santa! Luckily the line was not very long and they were both patient =)

You can tell Cayden was excited/anxious to meet him..

We always like to spend some more time having fun after pictures..

Cayden was able to control the train..

 

 I got to ride on the carousal with these cute kids..

.

Of course Cayden wanted to go shooting with Daddy..

Cayden was enjoying checking out the big fish tank

Rice cereal

Ellie seemed interested in food for a couple months but I decided to hold off giving her anything until she was 6 mo. On December 8th we decided to give it a try!
She was very unsure about it at first then we tried to give her a bite, and from there, it was over..

She screamed and cried and acted sooo disgusted and wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.

This picture makes me laugh, mainly because of the big smile on Cayden's face..

I even tried to see if she would eat better with Mike, and well...

We were not used to this, Cayden took it no problem at 5 months but luckily after a lot of tries and a couple months she was finally able to start tolerating it =)

Santa at the library

I love going to my hometown every year for all of the cute Christmas things they do and we couldn't miss seeing Santa at the library!

Grammy was helping Cayden with some fun crafts..

I was just glad Ellie didn't scream and cry =)
