Twas the Night Before Christmas....

and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The children were nestled all snug in the beds as visions of sugarplums danced in their heads....

Before bed the girls put out cookies and chocolate milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Maddie was very adamant that we have at least 8 carrots because "that's how many reindeer their are."

Maddie wrote this letter to Santa and both her and Maycee signed it. She needed help with spelling some words, but the wording and content was all her idea.

Santa has already been to our house, and as you can see he did honor Maycee's strange request and leave her a new pillow:)




This is the gingerbread house we made today. It was much more difficult than it looked like it would be, but we had fun and it kept the girls occupied until Guy got home from work.

Aren't these mugs cute. My friend Mickie painted these for us. They have each of our names on them. We will be having hot chocolate in them tomorrow morning. Thanks Mickie!

Here are just a few pictures from today. I will do a slideshow later of some other cute ones.
