{so this is christmas..}

it came and went in the blink of an eye~
we had a wonderful christmas! christmas eve started out with the annual christmas even run with friends and fam. Always such fun! That afternoon we wrapped gifts with the kiddos, went and looked at some lights, and got yummy christmas cupcakes--{my fav was the pumpkin! it was delish!}. Then it was christmas eve dinner at my mom's with presents, the famous fettucini, and opening pj's! One of my fav traditions is our kid-free, late night jaunt for hot cocoa. It's all about the traditions:) Christmas morning was so much fun. The kiddos were so thrilled that santa had come. Z had to put on some of her princess dress ups immediately upon opening them. After all the present business we headed to my mom's for crepes, and just hung out with the fam, opened more presents, and played the beatles rock band most of the day:) it was a perfect day! i hope you all had a very happy holiday!!
