Addie and Tim Christmas Morning

Our Little Family Christmas Eve

Adeline on Christmas Eve (notice the drool)
We had such a fun holiday. We spent Christmas Eve with my family, and some close friends. So, we exchanged gifts with them...Santa showed up. Addie slept through it unfortunatly. Adeline was spoiled. We had delicous food. We woke up and had cinnamon rolls that were delivered on Christmas Eve by the Pettingails. It was truely a nice suprise because I was going to make cinnamon rolls for us, and then I didn't have to. One tradition that we started this year was the 12 Days of Christmas it was so much fun. We mainly took treats. On the last night they left us a really nice note. On Christmas morning we woke up, and exchanged gifts...after we both showered and took pictures with the gifts. So, it was very enjoyable and then we opened gifts. Later in the day we went to Tim's families house. We had another delicious meal, and then exchanged gifts. So, we were all spoiled. I really love this time of the year. I think our new tradition the 12 days of Christmas made it even more special. I also love to make peppermint bark, and I dipped some jo jo's in chocolate (those are oreos with a little peppermint in the middle). I ruined fudge, and one batch of homemade suckers. I was really excited to bake, and got a little discouraged after the fudge...it became hot fudge. Oh well it still tasted good, but it is so disappointing when you use all of the ingredients, and then time and then it doesn't work out that usually doesn't happen to me.
