It seems like Christmas gets more and more fun as the years go by! Amy was definitely into Santa this year. She wanted to know exactly how he was going to get down the chimney and what he would do once he got here. She was convinced that Santa was going to come upstairs to see her sleeping!! The Elf on the Shelf made an appearance again this year. I must say that the Elf became quite creative this year in terms of places he appeared after his nightly flight back to the North Pole. Amy was so excited that the Elf "landed" in her bedroom on her birthday. What excitement!! She also was very excited when the Elf brought Christmas jammies for her and Nathan from Santa!
Nathan enjoying his gift from his birth family...
Decorating cookies! Amy again was way into this and loved to cut out the cookies as well as sprinkle them with sugar!! Of course, her favorite part was taste testing the cookies to make sure they were suitable for Santa!!
Sprinkling the reindeer food on the front yard to make sure the Reindeer stopped at our house!

Christmas morning...Nathan wasn't really into opening gifts. However, lucky for him, he has a big sister that was more than happy to help him open gifts!
