Hillam Christmas Party

Brad's family has a huge Christmas party with all of his aunts, uncles and cousins. Santa comes and brings gifts for all the children. When Halle's name was read she said (very loudly) "I don't want to sit on his lap!!" So I made her atleast walk over to him and get her gift and politely say, "Thank you, Santa." She unwrapped a baby Belle doll and loved it.
Haisley thought it was fun to just look at Santa. This is the same thing Halle did her first Christmas. If she is following in her sister's footsteps, I guess I already know what to look forward to in the next couple of years!!

ChRisTmaS DreSseS

These are recycled dresses from my brother's wedding this summer. They cost too much to just have them wear them for one event. I made new sashes for them and put these cute red sweaters over. Aren't they so cute?!!

The GirLieS got a PriNcesS TenT; however, Halle thinks it's JUST hers.
Halle got a tea set, my AWESOME Dad is teaching her how to sip tea with her pinkie up. Everytime we play tea party, she reminds me to put my pinkie up. THANKS Dad, for being such a wonderful GRANDPA!!

ADVENTS!!

The CHRISTMAS season has begun in our family!! It is a tradition in my family to count down to Christmas with Advents. On the fourth Sunday before Christmas we get together and read the "Polar Express" and the kids get their first gift of Christmas, which is an ornament. We then get together every Sunday after that and read a story and have goodies.
Here is Haisley opening her ornament- her very FIRST Christmas present EVER!!
Halle is very excited about Christmas; being a parent is so much fun at this time of year!! She could hardly wait to open her present. Since she has discovered the princess thing this year we decided to get her a Tinkerbell ornament. She has already broken it, but that's what superglue is for, right?
