Traditions!
Every year we go to my parents for Christmas Eve.
The kids are overly excited for the evening because of all of the fun traditions that will take place!!!!
Tradition #1
Santa/Reindeer hats
AND
This year nanny added ----
LIGHTED noses :)
Elizabeth was all into making faces -- even though all the others were happy!
Nose kisses :)
Santa Elizabeth!
LOVE!!!
Tradition #2
Make your own PIZZA
Yes, this is a VERY BIG favorite.
Nanny even accommodated all of the gluten free folks :)
Rollin out the dough!
In the pan -- yes, this is her VERY first time :)
She's LOVING it!!!
Pick your own toppings!
Her favorite fruit is pineapple and she couldn't believe it is available to put on pizza!!
My Darling and her pizza ready for the oven.
Tradition #3
Open presents from nanny and pa!
The crew waiting for their turn.
Yes, one at a time :)
My Darling opening --
YES, she was overly excited about this one -- Loopdedoo -- a bracelet making 'thing'
Actually, it's pretty cool :)
My Darling showing MD her violin tuner. She HATES when her violin is out of tune!!
MD's new guitar strap.
JM LOVING his new blanket.
The girls watching me open one of my gifts. It was shaped weird so we were all curious :) It was a cupcake tree.
AND
Yes, I wanted one!!
Tradition #4
NEW p.j.'s provided by nanny and pa.
AND again,
she was VERY excited!
All 5 in their new p.j.'s
AND now time to relax for a bit --- hahaha.
REALLY --
Time to play/use the new gifts.
Elizabeth got a lap harp. She LOVES music but it is a struggle to find something she can play -- she doesn't have lots of upper body strength and with short arms and only 5 fingers -- well, it's hard :)
BUT
This seems to work. MD tuned it for her, I gave her a short lesson on following notes
AND
she was actually able to follow the music and play Amazing Grace :)
The girls and I watching the video on youtube about how to make bracelets on My Darlings new Loopdedoo.
My Darlings first bracelet. Nice job!
Yep, and one tired daddy sleeping.
He's just gearing up for everything we need to finish up when we get home :)
Again, we are overly blessed.
It is so much fun to spend time with family
AND
to watch the wonder and excitement of children
especially when it is the first time for someone.
REALLY
It's priceless!!!
