Atlanta part 2

 A lot of pictures in this post

 

On the 23rd, we let the kids decorate cookies for Santa.  We let them start out frosting them too, but they both were bored frosting, so mom and I finished frosting while they sprinkled the goodies on.

 

 

I set out our last appearance for Santa's helper, Blitz.  I decided to bit him farewell with Frozen, since he's going back to the North Pole and all.

 

The kids were excited because they were able to hold him and say their goodbyes

 

We then got ready for the day and headed out to the duck pond and path.

 

These two.  Love them and how much they love each other.  Most of the time.

 

Then we stopped at the store and bought a gingerbread house.  I didn't think we'd get to this tradition this year since we were on vacation, but we got it done and had a good time doing it!

 

We also let the kids open one present that night.  Xander picked a good one so we also played that.  Fun!

 

Sterling was in heaven. She's totally obsessed with Anna and Elsa right now.

 

Christmas Day and Santa came!

 

Sterling was SO excited that she got Anna and Elsa panties from Santa!  She was dancing and hugging them and saying thank you, Santa!  Too cute to see the excitement over the little things.

 

Xander received a bunch of Jake and the Neverland Pirates stuff. 

 



 

Love my dads happiness here.  He said: "really, did you guys really get us tickets?!"  We got my parents Atlanta Braves tickets.  Like, up front and personal tickets.  They are going to have a ball.  Pun intended:).  My parents like getting out, so we knew this would be the perfect give to give them.  Experiences are better than any gift!

 

Oh my goodness!

 

Papa helping Sterling set up her castle.  She sat and played with this for hours!  It was a big hit.

 

Mom.  Oh, my mom.  Poor thing was sicker than sick.  She slept A LOT this day and still didn't feel any better. 

 

See these two.  Always together having fun.

 

We spent a lot of time playing and putting toys together all day.  What a fun and memorable Christmas.  Thanks mom and dad for having my wild bunch on such a special holiday.
