2018 Christmas with Grandpa Bart

We don't take as many pictures to show it off, but it was still a fantastic visit with Grandpa Bart this Christmas!

Christmas Morning 2018

We had a fantastic Christmas Morning this year. Santa brought Simon a guitar and Lillian a dollhouse.

Christmas Eve Snow Storm

It was freezing cold on Christmas Eve, but that didn't stop us from playing in the snow. We were the first people at the playground - pristine snow everywhere - and it looked like an army had marched through when we left. 

Making Christmas Cookies 2017

This year we got to have our Christmas Cookie Party. We made so many cookies as presents from the kids to folks and decorated so many more just to eat!

2017 Simon and Lillian with Santa

This year we did a mini session with Santa at a friend of mine's photography studio instead of standing in line for a photo. This is the way to go going forward! The pictures are amazing and there are so many wonderful ones to choose from so I can't decide which is my favorite.
There are a bunch after the jump.
