Christmas 2016

Christmas with a 4 year old and two easily excitable dogs make for chaos.  We would not want it any other way!

This year the anticipation was high and the excitement was through the roof on Christmas morning.   

Early in the month we traveled to Matt's family to cele8.  It is always nice to visit and relax.  There was a bunch of fresh snow that weekend so we got to enjoy that on top of it all!

We celebrated at our house on Christmas morning.    The first present Abby wanted to open was for Koda and Watson,   how sweet is that?  She loved her bean bag chair and her Playmobil dog park set.   Later that day we got to celebrate with my parents.    The fun was again experienced with handmade gifts and yummy food!

Overall it was a fun and memorable holiday!

December

December was filled with fun and preparations for Christmas and a visit from Santa.   Abigail really enjoyed all the decorations and activities! 

We were able to spend lots of time together  (including Matt!) this month.   From a girls day to see the Nutcracker,  to science experiments with dad,  to family time in the snow....this was a wonderful month!
