~~Christmas 2013~~

December Memories

The kids had their Christmas Program at St. Paul's together. They did such a great job. Lilyana has a great memory and knew all the words to many songs. Gavyn tried his best and tried very hard at learning the actions. ;) I was able to enjoy time at Lilyana's Christmas party at school, it was really fun watching our little social butterfly interacting with her school friends. We were blessed with A LOT of snow before Christmas which usually doesn't happen. The kids have been having a blast outside. Lilyana made her own tunnel to crawl through. :) Cookie decorating and crafts on days spent not outside. (For some reason these pictures went out of order and I am too lazy to put them in order).

Paradise Ranch Sleigh Ride!

Another great year at the Paradise Ranch. This year there was snow so it was actually a sleigh ride! A beautiful ride through the woods with beautiful horses. The kids get Santa all night to chat with. The warming house has games, hot cocoa, cider, and popcorn. After the sleigh ride the kids made s'mores out by the bonfire. Love this night!

Our Christmas Tree!

We have been getting our tree from Useldings in Cedarburg for many years. I love it because it brings back memories from when I was a child. We went to the same tree lot and I remember the aisles of trees just looking like they went on forever and the trees appeared so tall. The snow on the ground, rows of beautiful trees, smell of pine, picking out the best tree ever. I am now reliving it all with my kids. It is so neat to watch them run around just as excited I remember I was. Gavyn is getting old enough now to get into Christmas, he woke up the following morning after decorating the tree wondering where the presents thinking it is already Christmas. Now to attempt to find time to get the rest of the house decorated!
