Let the Festivites begin!!

This past week of holiday fun has been a marvelous...simply marvelous!!  Chad had time off and we took full advantage of all this time of year has to offer...good times!!

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!
Lexi making sure all the lights are working and that each ornament has a perfect spot.
Nixon mischievously undoing everything Lexi just did.
It's the happy, happiest season of all!!
 Them crazy boyzz!!
 Lexi and her dance class getting ready to perform their "Boogie Woogie Santa" for folks at the retirement center.
 Big Smiles!
 Yes!  The Christmas tradition continues!  Crescent rolls for all! (Or maybe just me!)
 While out delivering goodies to our friends we had a chance encounter with our favorite elf/babysitter Miss Melissa!!  She is one of Santa's sassiest helpers!!
 Christmas Eve day here in Washington was God's special way of saying, "Merry Christmas dear Bethany!"  50 something and sunny!!  We had a super time at the park riding bikes, playing on the playground, eating our picnic and skating at the skate park!
 Red and green shirts...and they didn't even plan it!  Christmas spirit, baby!
 Skating with Dad!  Zane's already asking Chad how to ollie.
 Lexi won't be shown up by the boys!
 You can tell Nixon was concentrating hard by how far he was sticking his tongue out.

CHRISTMAS EVE!
 So our new family tradition is Christmas Eve chili with homemade bread bowls.
 I think it was a hit!
 Even Lexi ate everything...granted I did bribe her with a delicious dessert!
 Just wanted to let everyone know that Nixon is a hipster in training.  He would not take these glasses off for 2-3 days.  He even slept with them under his pillow!
 Christmas Eve PJs!!

 The night was "wrapped" up perfectly with Skyping of families.  The kiddos loved modeling their Christmas PJs to Nana and Grandpa Barney and we were so stoked to be able to be part of the Thompson Christmas program.  We really did feel like we were there...it was Christmas magic!
