Santa

Even though we are not teaching the kids to believe in Santa Claus - it is still fun to have their picture taken. Liliana knows who the character Santa is, we're just not teaching her that he brings presents. As in the past years, Liliana does NOT want Santa to hold her!

Christmas Party #3 - Christmas Eve

Our next Christmas adventure was Christmas Eve at Uncle Luke and Aunt Susan's house. The kids had another exciting time. We had dinner and opened lots of fun presents. The kids put on their Christmas jammies. They were both worn out when we were done!

Christmas Party #2

Our second Christmas party of the season was spending the afternoon at Grandma Rose's house. We always do this the Sunday before Christmas. This year Liliana and Graves had such a good time playing with their cousins. They got a lot of great toys and just had a blast!

Liliana working hard at her "game". Her My First LeapPad is amongst her favorite gifts!

Graves smiling, as always :)

Another favorite toy - Thomas!
Daddy and Graves - can we say tired?

Christmas Party #1

Our Christmas celebrations started with a big holiday party with our mom's group! Thank you HighCountryMommies for the great party and wonderful gift!

As you can see it was a wonderful night full of lot of people. The kids had some crafts to do and we had tons of great food. It was definetly a lot of fun! Graves enjoyed walking around the room people studying and Liliana had a blast with her friends!

Some more pictures...

I found these pictures on Ira's computer from the last couple of weeks. I thought they were too cute not to share!

Cute Pouting Pirate

Liliana was dressed up one day as a pirate and Ira kept trying to take her picture - but she didn't want him to so she made pouting faces instead. Silly girl.

We finally got her to smile.
