This month we were so busy celebrating Christmas together! So I planned something fun for the kids to do from Dec 1-24 to keep us in the Christmas spirit! :) I tried to photograph most everything we did but I missed a few days! One of my favorite memories is our Christmas Dance Party!! Oh my gosh.. it was so SO fun! I got our speaker and looked up some kids Christmas songs on Youtube (Santa Shark and Christmas Freeze Dance were their favs) and we danced the night away! :) Then we ended the party with cookies!
Another favorite memory was building our gingerbread house! I have never built one before so it was very interesting haha! Connor couldn’t do much, but I made sure he was up in the action! I took a few photos on a timer and some of his facial expressions are so hilarious! I thought the house turned out pretty cute though! I used it as a centerpiece on our kitchen table :)
** That last photo is of our Christmas tags from last year! I got the idea from A Beautiful Mess blog to do personalized gift tags with photos! I added the date to the photo but I loved the way they turned out! Plus you can use them for ornaments!
We had our first Christmas celebration with Jon’s mom since she was heading to Ohio and we were staying here on Christmas. This was Connor’s first time opening presents and it was adorable to watch him! Adaline had a blast too :)
The kids got dressed up on the Sunday before Christmas.. had to document it! Plus I got a super cute picture of Connor in the tub with a bubble beard! :D
Then we had Christmas with my parents and my nephews! Adaline’s favorite toy was probably the bouncy Dino that my dad named “Dumpy” because he would dump her off haha! The boys got a laser tag game and the guys went outside and played that for a couple hours!
We spent Christmas Eve with Jon’s dads family!
On the way back home there was a GORGEOUS sunset. I had my tripod in the car so Jon was kind enough to pull over on the side of the road and take photos in a field!
The kids woke up on Christmas morning to presents from Santa! Adaline had been BEGGING for a Paw Patrol Tower since she found it in a target magazine for Black Friday. She was so excited to finally get it! I absolutely love seeing their smiling faces! It was beautiful!
We spent Christmas Day with my family. That afternoon my brother was kind enough to take some family photos of us! I will always cherish these!
After Christmas we spent a lot of time winding down at home! Connor started crawling AND pulling up right after the new year so we got a lot busier chasing him and baby proofing the house! We also got a visit from Great Grandpa Kenney!
10 months with our baby boy!
