Christmas Day

 Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love having 3 kids and a husband to share it with! I love Christmas morning and the excitement it brings to my children. My kids woke up at six to see what Santa had brought them. Santa brought Lukas and Blair wiggly carts, batman, sheets, and Hello Kitty sheets. Case got Little People toys.


 Emptying the stocking
 Hello Kitty flashlight! HECK YES!!!

 Lukas emptied Cases stocking while Case played in the bouncer.
 Tin tea set from mom and dad
 Angry bird game from mom and dad

 The kids wanted to try out their new out door toys. It was SOOOOO snowy though! So we moved the cars out of the garage and the kids had fun playing. Dan took over a wiggly cart.
 Grandma and Grandpa Crane came and visited. The kids opened their presents from them. Lukas got bat man toys to add to his collection.
  Blair got the Disney princess Little people castle! I LOVE this! 


Playing with the vanity. We spent the rest of the night at my parents house. We had dinner and hung out. I realized when looking back at these pics I didn't take many of Case! Sheesh, poor third child. I think I was just really tired. ;)

Christmas Eve part 2

 The evening part of Christmas Eve was spent at Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson's. Yummy food and fun family! The kids acted out the Nativity, we opened gifts, and hung out.

 Lukas was a shepherd.
 Blair and Gracie were angels like every year. I just don't think they can resist the princess crowns and wands. ;)
 Case hung out!


 Opening cousin presents. It got a little hectic and I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked. Blair got princess barbies, and Lukas got an I pad game, and Spider Man toy.


 Opening up Grandma and Grandpas gift. She got a Vanity! She was beyond excited. She loved it and still does! One of the best Christmas toys ever!

 Lukas got a skateboard. He can't wait to use it more this summer.

Christmas Eve Part 1

 This year we didn't make it to church the Sunday before Christmas, so I made my kids wear their outfits on Christmas Eve. With all the sickness going around I just didn't dare go to church and risk Case getting really sick. We have had a lot of RSV, Pnemonuia, influenza etc going around our neighborhood. With a sweet little preemie I just didn't want to risk it. I still got some super cute pictures, and they wore their outfits to Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson's Christmas Eve party.


 I still can't believe I have 3 kids!
 Blair and her posing is the cutest!
 I don't know when or how this kid got so grown up on me! He is so handsome and sweet!



 Every Christmas Eve my kids get Christmas Eve books about the true meaning of Christmas. Before we do any celebrating we open and read each book. It helps bring the spirit into our home.
Case just chilled and listened in his dads arms, while I read the stories.

Santa Clause at Grandma and Grandpa's

 A few days before Christmas Santa came and visited Grandma and Grandpa Cranes house! My kids were so ecstatic! They were even more excited when Santa brought early Christmas gifts! Lukas was pretty certain that this was the REAL Santa, and not just one of his helpers.





 Lukas got a bat mobile.
 Telling Santa his wish list!
 Blair wouldn't hold up her toy for a pic but she got Hello Kitty trouble! She was so excited!
Case was pretty wide eyed when Santa held him. It was the cutest!
