Holiday Get Togethers

Uncle Pete and Auntie Ali hosted a Secret Santa gift exchange for the kids.  The kids sat in line from the oldest to the youngest waiting patiently for their gifts.

One of the most popular gifts was Courtney's coloring pages.  The kids sat quietly coloring. It was really nice of Courtney to share her gift and the activity became a team effort!

The girls also got together with James, Luke and Kalina to exchange gifts. The kids showed off all the goodies they got.  They all loved their presents!

Daddy, Mommy and Bella stopped off at Katelyn's winter Kindergarten performance before heading to work and preschool.  The kindergartens sang Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer, Oh Hanukkah and We wish you a Merry Christmas.

Katelyn, Po Po and Mommy watched Trolls during winter break while Bella had school.   There were some parts of the movie that was scary and Katelyn sat on Mommy's lap.

It was not the best idea for the girls to wait until the last minute to see Santa and visit him on a weekend!  Mommy waited in line for an hour while Daddy took the girls to walk around the mall.  The wait was worth it for these pictures!  Bella was not afraid of Santa this year.  Santa told the girls- they were on his good list and they couldn't stop beaming after seeing him!
