Girl's Day!





Lilyana and Mommy sneaked away for a little Mommy/daughter time getting our nails done!

Our Little Ice Skater!







Lilyana received skates from Grandma and Grandpa Peterson for Christmas. She has been asking for skates and was so excited to get them at Christmas. A few times out on the ice and she was doing great. She enjoys it and tries so hard to skate all on her own. Grandma and Grandpa were so nice to come along and watch the little ones who can't go out on the ice yet! :)

Christmas at Mom and Dad's!
















Christmas at Mom and Dad's is always a crazy fun night! Wouldn't change a thing about it!

Christmas Morning!








Sleigh Ride!!













This was by far the most fun thing we did for Christmas! A "sleigh" ride (with wheels since there was no snow!) pulled by two beautiful horses. As a family we had this beautiful little barn all to ourselves with Santa and his elf. There was hot chocolate and board games available as well to stay and hang out. We partied with Santa for hours! The kids sat on his lap, sang Jingle Bells with him (with his real sleigh bells!)and all around just had the greatest time. After visiting with Santa we went out for the ride though the words lite up with Christmas lights. The only thing that could have made this night any better was snow. It would have been so pretty! We got our own horse blankets to bundle up in. Which by the way I never knew were so warm! The blanket we were using was over 100 years old and was the best blanket I have ever used! No wonder horses are able to stay out in the winter and be fine. We are so excited to start this as a new yearly tradition!

The Tree After "Santa" came!

Christmas Eve at Sallys!








We had a wonderful time at Sally's Christmas Eve, the kids behaved for the most part. The kids really enjoyed that "Santa" (aka Mom and Dad) drops off presents at Sally's of matching pajamas to wake up Christmas morning in!
