Christmas is in the air and so is Santa

'Tis the season to be jolly! Here a few Christmasy shots and lots of shots with Santa.

Tonight we had a party at our church. Santa was there. Here are a few pictures. Gracie is still terrified of Santa. She screamed last year when she saw him, and this year she ran out of the room when he came into the room. She did eventually decide to get closer tonight so she could get a candy cane. Courtney doesn't have much use for Santa either. She did give him a high 5 and willingly accepted a candy cane. The boys and Caroline quite enjoyed the jolly old elf. We did attempt a family picture with Santa. Enjoy our attempts!

Gracie by the Christmas tree in her Christmas dress. I bought them last January on sale and had to try them on the other day to make certian they fit. Perfect fit and cute as can be. Now I just need to get some bows the right color.

Watching a Christmas special all together. It was so cute to see them all in their jammies together. Courtney crawled right over and plopped herself on Kirill's lap. She loves her brothers.

Courtney waiting in line to see Santa. She got the Christmas tin in her hand out of the box that I brought to help decorate for the party and she carried it all night.


Caroline in her "Baby's 1st Christmas Outfit" It's hard to believe that it's already Gracie and Courtney's 2nd Christmas. It seems like just yesterday they were having their first Christmas.

I just had to share this cute picture of Caroline and Matt. I think she definitely has Matt's eyes and their mouths have exactly the same expression. And aren't they both adorable?

  3. Hey Liisa...I really need to call you! One of these days I hope! We're headed to Utah, so maybe after Christmas...you know how crazy it gets! I just love these pictures! Especially the one of Gracie standing in front of the tree. SO cute! Merry Christmas if I don't talk to you before then!
