A Killpack Christmas

Christmas at the Killpack household was such a fun time this year. Grant is three and Audrey is just shy of two. We had fun on Christmas Eve making Santa Claus masks:

Grant actually cut out his triangle and pasted his cotton balls on. No interest at all about putting it up to his face.

Audrey on the other hand:

Couldn't.




Get.



Enough.

Our favorite Christmas activities this year included reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. Every single night.

Listening to Christmas music on the ipod.

Watching Mickey Mouse Christmas Carol and Charlie Brown Christmas over and over. I do have to say though that Mickey Mouse received a lot more play than Charlie Brown.

We made Christmas Cookies together.

And then Audrey put her hand in most of them and ruined them.

She managed to miss just enough to give our neighbors a handful.

Absolutely had to take pics in their new pajamas for Christmas.

Grant's last day of wearing diapers was Christmas Day. He was in the process of potty training the day after Christmas.

And fully trained six days later.

Christmas morning brought excited little ones:

Santa had set out a Mickey Mouse for Grant and a Minnie Mouse for Audrey. That is all he could have brought, and they would have been just fine. James and I had to gather them back up to come and open the rest. They were soooo very excited about their Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Spoiled kids:

Tired...

But content!

Since Christmas was on a Sunday this year, and our church starts at nine, we got the kids ready first, and managed to eat Christmas breakfast before heading out. Since our tree was in our basement, we could pull this off. Must say, that I liked the reminder of Christ's birthday early in the day. It put a nice feeling in my heart that stayed there, and didn't leave in the midst of all the Christmas hoopla.

A very Merry Christmas this year.
