Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Since we didn't travel home for Christmas, we spent Christmas Eve with friends and enjoyed conversation, food, and a Christmas tree shaped pinata. Then Christmas day Skyler participated in a combined ward choir. Claire and Todd needed explanations as to why there were so many musical numbers during sacrament meeting, and why Santa would be coming at nap time instead of night time this year. It was fun watching the kids open presents and say "thank you" and to watch family on Google plus open presents as well. We've been enjoying having Skyler home so much, especially since he was away for a training one of the weeks in December. Thank you everyone for your cards, gifts and congratulations as we anticipate baby #3 in 2017.
The kids love k'nex and even more so with Daddy
No snow in Oklahoma? That's okay, we'll play with shaving cream instead.
PS Preschool kids love playing with shaving cream!
All ready for the Christmas Eve party.

Presents!
This year I got snowgies from Frozen Fever and loved seeing them sticking out of their stockings! We also had Elsa cereal aka marshmallow cereal for breakfast.
We've only seen a couple episodes of Peppa Pig. It's a cute show.
Skyler is really into cooking and kitchen gadgets, so this bread dough mixer was just for him.
Classic fish game from Uncle Connor. Santa also brought Candy Land (Claire has won every round so far)
Our neighbors were so thoughtful and bought Claire princess gloves because they knew Claire would be getting a dress for Christmas. And Great Grandma Quinn didn't know it, but her little purse was another perfect accessory added to add to the outfit.
I love how she's trying to get all of the layers of the dress off the ground so you can see her shoes! There are five layers!
Every boy has to have a dump truck!
Gingerbread house! nom nom
The butterflies on her shoes fell apart within a day, so thankfully we had 3 extras that came with the dress and we hot glued them on today.
We just returned the bags of Christmas books we checked out from the library!
Claire loved building with blocks today.
It went from a house, to a castle
