Christmas Season 2018

Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance—each beautiful, unique, and gone too soon.

What is Christmas without our friend's from the North Pole coming to visit for 25 days every year. They even join us on family holidays.

They bring us new ornaments for the tree every year. 

During the Christmas season our Ski season starts which makes it a wonderful time of year and a White Christmas. 

We try to keep to family Christmas traditions like Ginger bread Houses and fun family projects. This year Painting Christmas Trees and Nutcrackers.  

We couldn't have done it without our North Pole Friends, beer, and cookies. 

My favorite Christmas Tree in the house. Every year I add on new picture ornaments of the kids. I love putting the tree up and see how much they all have grown.

Luke, sent us an awesome Christmas gift. 

Christmas 2018

Merry Christmas! It’s the most wonderful time of year, don’t you think? With so many heartfelt traditions, today’s sweetest moments look slightly different as our children continue to grow, but sweet they are indeed. Our favorite Christmas tradition is the four kids together in their Pj's. We also,—dreaming of snow, drinking eggnog, opening gifts under the tree. No matter the tradition, one thing never changes: The love of our family surrounds us and attaches itself to every beautiful moment. We will cherish these memories forever. Here are some of our Christmas memories.

I might have talked about this in another blog but I wanted to talk about it again. Luke, our friend for Germany has been a fun and good friend to our family this year. We have really enjoyed him on family trips. He was so kind to send us this lovely gifts. 

Christmas Eve is tradition full for us. A Christmas Eve gift, always the same ...Christmas Eve Pj's and something else to enjoy the Christmas eve evening. This year, Dinner, Starbucks, and a movie.

Everyone, loved their Pj's other than Athena. Which confirmed my reason to not buy them Christmas gifts and just give the money, because I'm not a cool mom. and my shopping is shit. 

Merry Christmas Day.

Santa came. 

I said no gifts... I couldn't help myself. But it's just clothes that Athena will hate. 

The only gift they wanted. 

Large Tennis Bags. 

Athena got a computer

Layden got a new phone. 

We are so lucky that Nana and Papa came into town for Christmas. 

For the kids that doesn't like to brush his teeth. He said I was a bully. 

Charlie's gift. We wont be able to give it to her but we will never forget her.
