Christmas Day!

Christmas was wonderful this year and Santa Claus found us even at Grandma Wangsgard's house! It was a lot of fun this year because Haley was actually understanding who Santa is and what he does! She was so excited to put out cookies and write a letter to Santa. The morning was wonderful and the kids had a great time of course! Haley was especially excited about the Tinkerbell movie (she was into tinkerbell this year- hence the pj's as well) and also a talking doll with a stroller, high chair, and bed. Parker loved his Truck that Haley gave to him and also his play farm - he kept saying "yeehaw yeehaw". They were both really excited to have a new sled that they both could fit in! Later that night we had that Wangsgard Christmas party which can only be summed up in one word - CHAOS!! We love the chaos though and it is so fun to have all the cousins together especially for Haley! We are so grateful that we were able to spend Christmas with all our family - it would be so wierd not to be with them all!

Christmas Eve

My family always has their Christmas party on Christmas Eve and we were so glad to be a part of it this year. It was extra special because my Grandma and Grandpa Jackson were there. We had a little program and the kids sang Jingle bells, and also had a nativity. Haley was an angel, and Parker was the cutest sheep I've ever seen!! It was such a fun night of giftgiving and traditions! We ended the night with Christmas Eve Jammies!! Haley was so excited for her Tinkerbell PJ's and Parker would point at his 'Cars' PJ's and say "Tuck" (aka truck) It was pretty cute!

After I posted the slideshow I realized I missed a pic that I wanted to share. This is Parker sporting his Cristmas punch mustache! (Christmas punch is a long time family Christmas tradition)

Tree Decorating!

We decided to get a Christmas tree and decorate even though we weren't going to be at our house for Christmas. I have such fond memories of decorating the Christmas tree when I was little so I guess I want to give my kids the same experience. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it. Haley was especially excited when she got to put the star on. Also, we had quite the snowstorm (of course it was while scott was gon) and I was snowed in for a few days. The wind and drifts were the worse part and it all seemed to land in front of my house! Thanks to some wonderful neighbors we were able to get dug out! The kids didn't mind the snow though!
