This year for Christmas the girls opened gifts with three important families in their lives: The Belote's, Melby's and Fosters. Thanks to everyone for an amazing Christmas. You all are so giving and thoughtful. Our girls are truly blessed to have you all in their lives.
The following pictures and collages are a mixture from all three events.
This year our "actual" Christmas was spent in Conrad. Thank you to the Melby's for hosting and taking good care of us while we were there. We were also lucky enough to have my parents up for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. It was prefect and the girls loved having both grandparents there together.
Putting out reindeer food for Santa's reindeer.
Hailey kept looking up...thinking she might catch a glimpse of Santa's sleigh.
The final dump.
Up next....putting out the cookies and drink for Santa. This is always so much fun.
Getting Santa's cookie tray ready.
And of course....this year Santa asked for Diet Coke.
After the cookies were put out the girls were ready for bed. All kids know Santa will be coming soon, so time to get some sleep so the big guy can come. I always remember as a kid having a hard time falling asleep on Christmas Eve and our kids were no exception.....it was about 11 before we finally got them down for the night.
A Melby tradition....you have to sit on the step and have the parents check to make sure Santa had come. The anticipation was too much for Mommy....I had to wake them up at 8. I was too excited. So, not looking too chipper!
Gifts from Santa this year. Hailey got an art table and some art supplies. Sydney got a piano, music player, and of course waffles.
Sydney finding something pretty special in her stocking.
She can't believe it....she got a chap stick holder for her ski coat.
