December was pure magic! We had an advent calendar with a treat for the kids every day and a slip of paper in it with a family activity/tradition to do! It was so fun, the kids loved it. All these pictures are out of order, but don't have the time or energy to rearrange!
Christmas Eve!
Checking out Santa's cookies. She started crying right after this picture because she wanted one. So we all had cookies before bed! Anything goes when it's Christmas.
Loved this tradition of doing kind acts and filling Jesus' manger with straw!
When the bread dough almost overflows...
Ev's version of the manger scene!
Indoor snowball fight!
Jake turned FOUR!! He requested a paw patrol cake, and to go to Chick-fil-A and Petco that night. I video me asking questions around his birthday each year and it's so fun! This year he said he his favorite friend is Evie and that he wants to serve a mission in California.
He got to go to preschool on his birthday!
Jake had some birthday dollar bills and gave one to Ev to spend in the Target dollar spot. Too cute!
Jake's set up before bed one night!
A candy cane hunt one day for the advent calendar!

Ev loves the dog at Old Navy.
Preschool fun!
The kids like to ride their bikes and scooters/play trucks in our hallway. One night Travis used a camping chair to hang out there with them haha
Making "gingerbread" houses!
We went up to my aunt and uncle's house in Virginia one night and had dinner, rode in the back of a pickup to a Christmas light park, then acted out the nativity. The kids loved it!
Ev found her costume and said she was going to be a dog.
Best costumes and actors hahhaha
Christmas Eve breakfast! Jake didn't want to eat his and mess it up.
More from Christmas morning!
Travis always win on creativity with so many of his gifts he gives me! Always love the origami he makes.
