This year, Christmas brought snow with it. Lots of snow. We spent a lot of time at Grammy's house, playing in the snow with our cousins. I left all those pictures at Mom's though, so I will start by posting photos from our Christmas at home. We spent Christmas Eve at Grammy's annual Christmas Eve party, and drove back home just in time to put out some cookies for Santa before we went to bed. Christmas morning, we woke up and found that Santa had indeed visited, and he must have liked the cookies we left for him, because he left us some great gifts!
Hazel waited as patiently as she could for Lisey to wake up, then she ran downstairs like a shot!
Santa went overboard this year and filled the stockings with so many gifts, they wouldn't all fit in the stockings. Oh, and he brought the girls a Barbie Power Wheels Jeep.
That Santa! He must have been watching our weather forecast, because this came in handy the very next day.
As usual, Glenn had some crazy gift packing ideas.
Glenn shows some appreciation for an awesome gift from his oldest daughter.
She got him a Warrior Dash track jacket because we are all so proud of his skill in the mud races.
Apparently, there were some holes in Glenn's toolbox, which his dad was happy to fill for him.
I'm so glad there are at least 10 years before I have to worry about Hazel driving.
The girls and I decided to make boxes to keep our hand-made ornaments in. So we found some boxes in Grammy's garage and covered them with wrapping paper and Christmas stickers.
Lisey doesn't have many hand-made ornaments yet, but Hazel reminded her that she will be starting preschool in 2013, and you get to make ornaments in preschool. So we made Lisey a box too.
Our finished products. We are quite proud of them.
We had an awesome 2012, and a really great end of the year celebration. We don't know what 2013 has in store for us, but we are really looking forward to finding out!
