Let the Christmas Posts Begin!

Our Christmas Season Kickoff...

One of my favorite new traditions:
Day after Thanksgiving, decorating for Christmas in our new Christmas jammy's! (AFTER a little Black Friday shopping, of course!)

The girls were actually a great help!

Milly loved looking into this green ornament, saying "Look, our House is Green!"

Rylee Jo was so proud to be able to put the Star up!

& the Christmas Activities begin...

a definate yearly must-
Temple Square Lights:

A new one for us: Ice Skating at the Galivan Center with Grandpa Alan!

Milly enjoyed it, but not for too long. "ice-skates, too tight!" she said.
So Grandpa & her took a break & had some doughnuts!

Rylee loved Ice Skating! She was really good, and was able to skate on her own.
Her & Sophi had such a fun time skating together holding hands, with NO help!

Cookie Making:

Wheeler Farm with Grandma & Grandpa:

A Hay Ride:

& Cocoa by the Fire!

We found Santa Clause inside...

Rylee reminded Santa of her wish for him to bring her an Easy Bake Oven & a Barbie Jeep.
& Milly asked Santa for her Mr. Potato Head!

and Don't you worry, there is More fun to come!
Stay "posted"...

Milly Moment...

So, we had just filled our Advent Calendar FULL of chocolates for the month of December...
The next morning the girls and I were planning on making some hot chocolate in our new hot chocolate mugs! Well, I walked into the kitchen, and found THIS:

I asked Milly what in the world she was doing???
She simply looked up at me & said:
"Mommy, I makin' Hot Chocolate!"

ha ha ha! Well, I had to admit... she was VERY creative!
She had a literal understanding! (Amelia Bedelia?)
