We spent NYE with the Aungs and the Wilkinsons.  The kids had a lot of fun running around and playing with the balloons.  Everyone was excited to try out the new ice cream maker Bennett got for Christmas.

Jelly bellies were a big hit thanks to Santa as well.

I almost made it to midnight... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

night time routine mayhem

Baby Coco got a bath and her hair looks fabulous.  We all snuggle up in our King bed to watch a show or play with the iPads before heading to bed. 

Winston is SSSSSWWWEEEEEEEETTT!

Coco looks so tiny in her bassinet. 

brotherly love

The boys sure love snuggling with their favorite baby sister.

baby shark

We danced to Xena's favorite song ALL night today.  The boys are now obsessed with what Winston calls "Baby Ghark" song.

christmas

Santa dropped by and sampled the cookies!

I was surprised when the kids didn't wake up until 8:00AM this morning.  I would have thought they are up early to get to opening the presents.  I guess they were tired last night. 

The boys enjoyed opening the sacks Santa dropped off for them.  Bennett asked for Minecraft LEGOs and Winston asked for Paw Patrol this year.

Coco just chilled by the fire while the boys played with all of their new toys.  They shared them well to our surprise.

 

They both made out this year!  Daddy spent four hours putting together all the LEGO sets Bennett and Winston got as gifts.

Coco didn't ask for much but got some cute outfits and chew toys.  I think next year she will participate more.

Mom and Dad finished the day off with some tasty beef tenderloin.  Christmas was a great success!  Cheers and Merry Christmas to all. Xo

milk and cookies

One last thing to do before heading to bed tonight: set up the milk and cookies for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer!

Mommy wanted one picture in the matching pajamas too but that proved difficult. 

We are exhausted! Sweet dreams and to all a good night!

christmas eve party at the hillman's

We spent the evening at Bill and Cindy's.  Cindy made sugar cookies for the kids to decorate.  The kids really enjoyed sampling the icing and sprinkles, I mean using...

Winston snuck into the dining room for some sugar cookies when no one was looking.

The "kids" made some really nice looking cookies.

All the ladies looking fancy.  What a wonderful night and time of the year!  

gingerbread houses

The boys decorated gingerbread houses today.  Daddy helped with the roof decor.  Winston made sure to sample the icing before using it as a glue. 

first bath

Coco did not love her first sponge bath this evening.  The first bath is never easy!
