Christmasy Stuff!!!

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to blog more.  But the problem is that I am so behind on blogging that I have to catch up first! So I am going to do one but blog post to cover all the Christmasy stuff that we have been up to, then I will do a January catch up post and then it is on!

After the Festival of Lights, it was time for the TRAIN RIDE!  This takes the cake as my favorite Christmas tradition!
 Oliver waiting with his buddy Papa.
 The kids!  And Papa :)
 Finally on the train!
 Our girls, getting too old!
 My favorites!
 The crew.
 Oliver stopped me before we went in and said, "This is the one Mom, this guy is the LEGIT Santa!"
 Love!!!!
 Oliver was super into the reindeer this year and did not want to leave his side!
 Claire and her buddy Camden.
 Oliver making his reindeer food!
 The boys.
 And what would the train ride be without our annual stop at Theo's!!!
 :)
 The Komo girls!!!

So other than an amazing train ride, Cozy came back!
And introduced the kids to pop rocks!
It was hilarious!
Claire had her first violin concert at the middle school.
Papa photobomb
Ans Oliver got to hang with his buddies too!
Cozy brought some cozy slippers for the kids!
And toilet papered our tree.
Finally it was Christmas break and we started with a hockey tournament!  Oliver and Sam were back on the ice (but sadly not on the same team). 
 First hockey trophy

And what would a tournament be without a trip to 716! 
Then it was time to make some cookies with the Cappellis! 
 And I got this surprise on the Eve Of Christmas Eve!
 It was fun to meet up with some cousins for some open skate time with Santa!
 And color with the cousins.
Then it was time to put on our jammies and check out some Christmas lights! 
 I love that they still love this!
 And make me smile!
Finally it was CHRISTMAS EVE!  And it finally snowed while we made our gingerbread houses. 
 Then the Cappellis and Nowinskis came over for lunch!
 :)
Then Santa and Mrs. Clause came and read us a book and brought us some presents! 



 We missed Jessica though :(
My Christmas favorites. 

I love them.

After Christmas we had our annual dinner and a movie date with the kids!   
So fun at PF Changs and we went to see Mary Poppins returns. It was a perfect evening! 
We had a blast at our annual Christmas book club! 
Then another dinner out to the Olive Garden!
