Christmas

This year we were lucky to get to stay home and have one Christmas with Grandma Dawn and Grandpa Mark a few days before Christmas and then have a second Christmas including a sleepover at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Les' with Mike and Shannon too!!  The kids were really into cookies for Santa, meeting Santa at both the mall and making Christmas lists.  At the Indianola Christmas party a very special Santa came with present for all the girls and boys!  What a fun year.
Best Mall Santa picture ever.  Ever. Three reasons:
1- Paul's expression.
2- We remembered to comb Olivia's hair.
3- Will's not screaming.  I had money on him being a screamer this year.
Well done mini-Fitches.


















This is the necklace Paul 'bought' for me at his preschool Christmas store.  I love it!

Indianola Christmas Party

We took a break from organizing the Indianola Kid's Christmas Party this year, but we were still excited to go!  We had a new local Santa, a cake walk, a craft table (that we avoided completely ~ graham crackers), and lots of friends.  The kids had fun running around and having treats and even got a present from Santa!






Paul's preschool buddies: Paul, Harper, Addison, Amelia, Annabelle, Rowe, Olivia

Christmas Tree Hunt

We plan to be home for all of Christmas this year, so we are definitely excited to get a tree!!  We went to Forester Bob's as usual and got a great tree, some cocoa, LOTS of candy canes, and plenty of hugs.
