Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went as fast the wind.
Between recovering from surgery, family visiting and the kids being out of school for 2 weeks, we were left exhausted, yet thankful for the many blessing we had this holiday season.
I love this picture. Great Grandma Joy meeting Olivia for the first time.

Perk insisted we find ugly sweaters for his bosses Christmas party. However our budget doesn't allow us spend $50 each on sweaters designed to be ugly for Christmas that you'll wear just once. So instead we found these ugly t-shirts at American Eagle for a total of $16 for BOTH! Oh yes, the hat. Perk found the hat at Target. He just HAD to have it. Oh and then he found elf ears at Smith's and said I just HAD to have them.
My guy loves Christmas!
I took each of the girls to Build-A-Bear to make a stuffed toy for Christmas to give to each other. Abby loved picking out Anna's Reindeer and dressing it up.
She kept the gift a secret until about two day before Christmas. Then she blabbed.
Anna made Abby an Elsa Bear. She kept her secret the entire two days!
Being out of school for Christmas break meant lots of time to bum around and hang out.
Great grandma Wood meeting Olivia.
The night before Christmas we made cookies and put the ginger bread house out for Santa to see. The girls had a great Christmas (even though we said we weren't doing much this year because 1) we're building a home and 2) there isn't much room at my mom's house). However now that Christmas is over we get to focus on building the house (which will be a later post!!)
