A couple of weeks before Christmas Jase's parents had breakfast for all the grandkids and their cousins and Santa came to visit. They made reindeer pancakes and they each got a santa cup with a straw. They loved it. Isabelle absolutely hated Santa. She screamed the second we sat her on his lap. It made for some pretty classic pics.
We had such a great Christmas this year. The day before Christmas Eve we had the Hansen Christmas party. We are doing Christmas Around the World and this year was Germany. We learned about German traditions and did the nativity. My parents also do a fish pond for the grandkids. I think that's the kids favorite part.

I wasn't able to make it to the Mortenson Family Christmas party this year because the weather was so bad but we were able to make it to Jase's Grandpa's house for their Christmas Eve party. We came home and tried to get the girls to sleep but I guess the excitement of Christmas was too much for Isabelle and she woke up just after Santa had dropped off her presents so she had to sleep in our bed. I was also so excited that I woke up every hour waiting for morning. We got the girls up around 8 and they ran out the the living room and stopped as soon as the saw all the presents sitting on the couch. They didn't really know what to do until we told them to go and play with their toys. We played for a little while and then we headed to my sister's house for Christmas Breakfast. My parents came down after to see the girls presents and then we all took a nice long Christmas nap. We had dinner with Jase's family that night.
