Our Own Little Family Christmas

Because we travel every year at Christmas, mommy and daddy like to do our own presents at our house some morning before we go. This last Saturday was the perfect day for it...cold and rainy outside! We had a yummy breakfast, got to Skype with Uncle T and Auntie Brooke to open each others gifts before they set sail for the Caribbean and then we opened our own gifts. We spent the rest of the morning playing with our new toys! It was a fun start to the Christmas festivities!!

Christmas Cookies

For the past few years, every Christmas mommy and I have driven out to Grammy and Grandpa's house for the day to help Grammy and Mormor make Norwegian Christmas cookies. This year they let me help! I think I ate more than I helped make but I had to be sure they tasted ok!

Grammy, Mormor and me

Mommy and I did some more baking at home...she let me lick the spatula and it was SO good!

 

















Finishing a successful day off with some hot chocolate and marshmallows!

Thankful Turkeys

Mommy and I did a fun art project and she let me paint for the first time! She asked me what I thank Jesus for when I pray...every night it's something different so we had to trace both of our hands so I could pick 10 things! Painting was fun!

It's the simple things in life that make me happy :)

Disneyland With Jacob & Jackson

I LOVE Disneyland and think it's so fun when we get to go with Jacob and Jackson!

Riding the teacups!

Happy Halloween!!

 I dressed up as Tinkerbell! We went over to our friend's house from church and met several other families there! Katie, Abby and I had fun trick or treating together with our mommies and daddies. Mormor and Papa got to come too! After each house, we would check our bags and see that we still had room for more candy and would ask to go to more houses :)
