We stayed "home" this Christmas. We love going to Texas to see our family, but now that we have kids we enjoy making our own family traditions.
We decorated a gingerbread train.
They might as well put cardboard in these kits, they're hard as a rock! Oh well, fun $9 activity to throw in the trash a few days later hah!
Then my husband came home from work early a few days before Christmas and told us to pack our bags for a couple nights. I thought he was joking. I had a few ideas, but didn't know where we were going.
He surprised us with a little trip to Atlanta for the weekend!
We have friends who live there who were kind enough to watch Scarlett while we took Bryn to see The Nutcracker. He had this all planned out :)
I didn't get any pictures from The Nutcracker b/c I didn't think we could bring our cameras in. So I only have this pic of Fox Theatre from the outside. It was pretty, even on a rainy day!
While we were in Atlanta we decided to go ice skating b/c Brynlee had been begging to go for a couple weeks. She was so excited :)
She could barely walk in her skates and this is what it looked like when she started skating haha!
She got much better by the end. And my goodness, there's nothing like feeling out of shape until you put on a pair of ice skates!! I don't think we've ice skated in 10+ years. But it was really fun!
Once we got back home we made goodies for the neighbors.
Including cookies, rice krispie treats, and reindeer food!
Then we delivered them to the neighbors.
All dressed up for the Christmas Eve service at church!
Christmas Eve night the girls got dressed in their matching pjs and sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn and waited for Santa to come!!
A few phone pics from the night....
Scarlett is ready for her 1st Christmas!!
