Preparing for Christmas!!

Preparing for Christmas was interesting this year.  For a while we weren't sure whether we would be in Twin Falls, ID or Roy, UT by that time.  We finally decided that trying to move before Christmas was not the best idea and that we would wait until after the first of the year to move.  This was incredibly hard since we were all having a hard time being separated from each other. 
Especially the girls from their daddy. 
But when he was home they were the center of his world and they loved every minute of it.

I decided that with me starting to pack, having two girls to take care of all by myself and being pregnant I was not going to decorate as much as I usually did.  We would put up the tree, the stockings, and a few other little things and that was it.  Thank goodness too, because putting up that much exhausted me.
He are my girls in one of their favorite holiday twines outfits.  Aren't they the cutest!!
Izabella found her sleeping bag stocking daddy made for her, and his Mr Grinch and the three of them were a match made in heaven.  Most mornings you would find her sitting in her stocking in the middle of the living room floor with her Mr Grinch watching the Grinch of the TV.  We are still watching it now at the end of January.
One of the weekends Mike was home we pulled out the old Christmas tree.  Izabella loves helping her daddy put it up.
Trying to get both girls to hold still long enough for a picture in front of the tree was near impossible so this one will have to work.
Izabella is very lucky to be such good friends with Santa Clause that he even stops by the house to check in on her before his big ride.  She loves seeing Santa and telling him everything she wants.
Abi didn't want much to do with Santa this year so we shared his lap.  I hope I didn't squash him to much!

And even Daddy sat on Santa's lap. 

I love Christmas and it was so much fun having Bella's help decorating this year.  I think my favorite part was walking through the stores with the girls and every time we passed a Nativity Scene Izabella had to stop to see baby Jesus, her favorite baby ever. 

We hope you all enjoyed the Holidays!!
