As always December is our favorite month of the year! This year was no different. Our first Christmas in Wylie was a happy one - lots of new friends and traditions and Maddie was experiencing it all for the first time!
Isaac got home to see all the outside lights put up and was SO EXCITED!!!
Lillie found her next Christmas gift idea :)
Sam's cool engineering project
Sometimes all M wants is some sister time <3 Writing letters to Santa
Isaac's first Polar Express Day in elementary! Lillie's first attempt at a yule log
This little stinker is so cute I can't even be mad at the wasted toilet paper!
Lillie is determined to get this her baby sister walking!
Checking out some fun lights around Wylie in the Olde City Park
Mom's Christmas Caramels - going strong since 2008
Isaac prepping for Santa and the reindeer - he always makes sure they're taken care of <3
Christmas Eve Night
I love how excited they all were to help her open her gifts!
First phone for this guy!
This peek-a-boo bear is from Gma and Gpa - The moment she saw she leaned in and gave it a hug - first time she's given anything a hug on unsolicited. We are all dying from the sweetness of it!
We surprised the kids with a New Years Eve trip!
Santa brought her a walker on the exact same day she learned to walk. Thanks for all the extra practice Lillie! Now we have to chase her down! M knows L will always teach her what she needs to know.
Checking out his haul
Oh how I love my family!
Rest stop at a Florida park for some much needed play time
Disney Springs while Dad takes a rest from bringing us all the way in
We have finally spotted the Beast's castle - unfortunately we didn't figure out how to get here until it was too late and all the parts of that park were closed :(
The Avatar land was the absolute coolest - especially at night. We waited in line 190 minutes TWICE to be able to ride the Avatar tide. Totally worth it! Side note - we kept waiting for Maddie to break down the entire trip - so far she is traveling like a little champ! Sleeping on the go and we love it!
Grant's friend who totally saved the day!
We rang in New Years Eve in style - Tim and Lillie relaxing in the condo while Maddikins slept and the boys and I went to the pool.
What a crazy, busy, new family member adding, covid-y, moving, traveling, life changing year this has been.
There is not another family I would rather be growing, learning, and loving with. You six humans are my world and I am beyond grateful everyday for our little world of joy we have created!Come join us next year for 2021!
