(Still catching up on 2011 posts so that I can print our 2011 blog book. You may notice a few more late posts before I am caught up!)
Once we were home from our visiting for the day, we had a quick dinner and then Maelyn got ready for bed. This year was the first year that she understood that we were getting ready for Santa to come to our house. It was so cute to watch her prepare for his arrival.
I am sure that Santa appreciated the lactose-free chocolate milk... :)
Getting the carrots ready for the reindeer...
Sampling the chocolate treats for Santa....yummy!
Paul and I have continued a tradition that my parents started with us kids. Every year we will give Maelyn (and eventually our new little monkey) an ornament on Christmas Eve. The ornament has the year on it and it usually part of a series. This way, when the kids move out, they will have ornaments that they can decorate their own tree with -- and hopefully think of our family Christmas memories.
Maelyn opened her ornament and was showing her Daddy where it should go...
Merry Christmas!!
