Christmas 2015 Wrap Up – Favorite Moments of December
Everly’s Sink Bath
She always gets so excited for this! She is getting pretty big for the sink, but she loves it so much, and it’s the easiest way to tame her crazy bed hair in the morning. Stormy, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with baths these days, guess that’s a boy thing.
^”Noooooooooose, Mama”
^My cue to wash her leg, haha
An Early Christmas Gift
^Complete childhood joy when they found this little slide I thrifted for $13 at Goodwill. We just couldn’t wait to let them enjoy this one, and it was totally worth it.
Matching Christmas Pajamas
^They love doing “super jumps” on pretty much anything they can, including me. I was surprised we got this photo where I wasn’t clenching my face and totally cracking up!

New Oven=Giant Box to Play in
Our oven went out during the beginning of November and remained that way for several weeks. I had a pretty large list of holiday goodies I wanted to make and I was starting to get worried I wouldn’t be able to bake any of them. Luckily we found a super good black Friday deal and got an awesome new stove just in time! (insert fireworks here) We celebrated by playing in the larger than life box it came in, I was pretty excited that I fit in there too 😉

Mom Thinks She’s Santa
^Guess I didn’t fool them, she looks totally unamused, they were cracking me up!
^Best shot I could get with these stashes on, this went so differently in my mind
Finished this day off by dressing normal…or not dressing at all in Everly’s case, and heading off to a big spaghetti dinner! I’d say that’s one pretty awesome day 🙂

The Real Santa
They were a lot happier to go see Santa than to actually sit on his lap and see him in person, we are 3 for 3, Stormy screamed and cried and Everly stared off not knowing what to do. We have the exact same picture with Santa 3 years in a row, the only difference is they are bigger!

Christmas Day
^My mom got her this phone for Christmas and she talked on it for days…until she realized she couldn’t play games, now she says “no, Mama’s phone”
^Justin’s mom got them this North Pole advent radio communicator, it was super cute watching them get all excited to talk to the elves or Santa every morning
^I found these vintage outfits hanging on a rack together at the thrift store back in October with a few other ones, all the same size in coordinating boy/girl looks…seriously, a thrifter’s dream, especially a thrifter with twins! I was pretty excited about them, it’s cool to think that maybe they belonged to someone with boy/girl twins back in the 70’s. Thank you whoever you are, they’ve gone to the perfect home! 
^And the award for the cheesiest Christmas set up goes to….ME! I was just playing around with things and wanted to try a couple shots. I had planned to change things around and redo them, especially since those red ornaments make a tree but the top one kept getting cropped out. But time passed, we all got sick, now it’s January and I’ve lost my motivation. However, I’m never one to settle or give up, so I’ll probably be that weird mom still dressing my kids in Holiday clothes and making them do Christmas photos on Valentines day 🙂
This is how they felt about it-
And if you’re still with me, this is Porkchop the carrot signing off! (the result of late night goofing around when our kids wouldn’t sleep)
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
