Once we made it Grammie and Grandpa's house, it was smooth sailing! The girls LOVED the sunshine and we took as many opportunities as we could to play outside and soak up some Vitamin D!

| We walked to a nearby park and tried out the see-saw. |

| Zonked out after the park and ready for a nap! |
We are starting a tradition of baking Christmas cookies and Evie once again loved helping Grammie make these treats. This year, we made Gingerbread cookies. No need for sprinkles this time, but she liked cutting out little baby Jesus' just the same.
On Christmas Eve morning, we took our annual walk through town and then horsed around some more outside before dinner. Seattle supposedly got some snow showers so we were very happy to bask in the sunshine!

| All smiles in my Christmas red! |

That evening, Scott's extended family came over for dinner. It was a big crew this year with some folks driving in from Mexico for the holidays! As always, it was a yummy dinner and it was so nice for the girls to see everyone. Evie only vaguely remembered her cousins (once removed) but warmed up to them right away and was chattering happily pretty quickly, and even fell asleep against Aunt Susie!

| Apps before dinner |
 |
| Nora was a bit shy and stuck close to Mom and Dad. |
After dinner, we made sure to leave Santa some cookies and milk.
I'm sad I didn't get pictures of the girls unwrapping their gifts Christmas morning, but trust me when I say they had fun. :)

| Eagerly waiting for the unwrapping to begin! |
