Christmas in Pictures

We got into the spirit early in the month by visiting Santa...
...then getting our tree up and the house decorated. Daddy and KK put the star on the tree, as they do every year. Each day during the month, KK got a special surprise hidden behind a little door in an Advent calendar Auntie Sunshine made for her. She would get out of bed each morning, go straight to the box to find the number of the day, and then she would run to our room to show us her new surprise. She LOVED this!!! Thank you Auntie Sunshine! Mid-month KK hosted her playgroup Christmas party where they decorated (well, mostly ate) gingerbread houses and cookies. The weekend before Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa K were here to visit. Except for going to the school program and tap dance recital, we spent the time at home relaxing and playing. KK kept Grandma busy snuggling while watching "The Grinch" and cleaning up after baking fudge. Daddy kept Grandma busy mending and sewing.
Grandpa was busy building tunnels, playing dollhouse, and reading stories. She also made Grandpa happy by watching Westerns with him on TV. She knows her way straight into Grandpas heart! And obviously Grandpa knows his way straight into Mr. B's heart!
On Christmas Day, we visited with Grandpa M at cousin C's house. The following day, we spent time at Grandma M's with KK's cousins, uncles and aunts.
We had a white Christmas here in Colorado, so there was also some sledding and angel making. It was a wonderful holiday month for our family. We hope that you had a very Merry Christmas! Here's to 2010 and a very Happy New Year...CHEERS!
