December is always such a busy month with all of the holiday festivities. We had things going on most weekends leading up to Christmas and a very busy Christmas week. The Tiemeier family spent the whole Christmas week with us!! Monday didn't start out well with Isla projectile vomiting on our way out the door. She was feeling better by the evening so we were able to go over to my folks for their annual crab dinner. So delicious! Unfortunately, Isla spiked a fever after her nap on Tuesday so Matt had to stay home with her while the rest of us had great friends and food at the Osborn's annual Christmas party. Christmas Eve included church at St. James Lutheran, throwing reindeer food on the driveway and leaving milk and cookies out for Santa. Christmas morning didn't come too early for the kiddos and Matt's parents came over to our house for gift opening. After gifts at our house, it was off to my parent's house for more gifts. Carter was in heaven! All he requested for Christmas was dragons and between Santa, us, grandparents, aunts and uncles he got almost all of them!! Isla was happy with her princess dolls and make up brushes. The rest of the week pretty much consisted of hanging out with family and eating. But I have included pictures of all of our holiday happenings below!!
