The cookies and milk left out for Santa and carrots for his reindeer
(Kaden was excited that the carrots got eaten by the reindeer but sad that Santa couldnt eat ALL 12 cookies but he did eat like half and left a bite out of one)

This year was a fun one Kaden is understanding what Christmas is all about and has been excited about Jesus having a birthday he has wanted to give everything to him :) We got to see a live Nativity the kiddos loved all the animals. We did family parties and at one we sing happy birthday to Jesus and have a special cake for him. Kaden loved that! With Rob's family we celebrated early and had a feast and sang songs (the kids loved the one about the Nativity and The little drummer boy) We all got spoiled Kids with books and toys. and us with a rug to go under our table!! on Christmas morning we woke the kids up bright and early and let them open presents. Then we got to see grandma and grandpa Durfee and they spoiled us as well Kaden got a toy scooter and the girls with dolls and strollers (I later learn that the dolls sing when i was alone with the kids and WOW that was kindof scary.. but the kids laughed) and Rob and I got a date night!!! FREE babysitting and dinner and more.. we sadly missed our ward since the girls fell asleep right before we had to leave but that afternoon daddy sat us all down and told us the story of Jesus and what it means to us and Kaden actually knew what he was saying!!! He got so excited about telling us about it!! We then got to have a yummy dinner with family! What a great holiday season!!
