Backtrack to Christmas

Always a lot of preparations before Christmas. Noah really enjoyed doing his Advent Calendar this year. Dozens of gingerbread-man cutouts were made... Christmas Eve was spent at my parents house...

Norah & Uncle AJ love hanging out together...Noah claimed he was, "Santa's favorite helper!"Norah got a new coloring book & crayons from Rara & Papa!Noah snuggling with Papa...Norah also got a princess sleeping bag...and she was happy as a peacock to lay on her bag & color!That evening when we got home, got the kiddos to bed - Jeff & I got things ready for Christmas morning. Norah's big gift this year was the Melissa & Doug kitchen...Noah's first glimpse that Santa, indeed, arrived!Norah spied her kitchen right away & immediately began playing. Noah, excitedly unwrapping his big red tractor. My most favorite Christmas picture:Again, Norah is always in costume. She got the tutu from Uncle AJ & Aunt Sherry & is in love with it.Rex!! (Noah's Toy Story collection is nearly complete!)Noah's big gift this year was 2 GeoTrax (train) sets... he was SO proud.The 26th we went up to have Christmas with the Joslyns. I only wish I took more pictures there, but I did get one of the kiddos with Rara J. In addition, this is the first Christmas in 3 years that we were ALL healthy for Christmas. It was wonderful.
