Christmas Morning

Santa Visited My House

Santa came to visit me on Christmas Eve and brought me a Little Einstein June doll and 2 princess ornaments. I could not believe that Santa came to MY HOUSE.

Getting ready for Santa

Ashlynd was a big help this year when it came to mommy's helper in the kitchen. Here she is mixing up her sugar cookies for Santa Clause. Her favorite part was tasting the batter off of the spoon. Momma - this is really good.

Cut out sugar cookies are not only Ashlynd and Clint's favorite cookies they are also Santa's favorites according to Ashlynd. So, we waited until Grammy Great and Grandma Bray arrived on Monday to make one of the most important cookies of the year. As you can see Ashlynd is all decked out in her "little chef" gear for the occasion.

Santa

Hi Santa, I would like a pink & purple princess scooter for Christmas.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS...

Ashlynd wants a pink and purple princess scooter from Santa this year. On more than one occasion I over heard this conversation that she was having; one time it was at this new princess night light:

Star light star bright 1st star I see tonight I really really want a princess scooter; pink with purple - please Santa.

I could not help but grab my camera and take a picture of her. She is on her knees hands together like she is saying a prayer. What an smarty.

Angels Singing We are Here

Here is our little Angel in her Canterbury "Angel Band" performance. Her class sang 5 songs with hand motions and props. The Holiday Program was followed with one of Santa's Reindeer and a party. Ashlynd was a ham in her performance and did a beautiful job singing.

Mamma's Little Helper..

This years holiday season has been so much fun for Ashlynd and I. Ashlynd has definitely been my little helper from decorating the tree, wrapping gifts to baking cookies. She is definitely a perfectionist (she gets that from her daddy). As you can see in this picture the ornament had to be placed just so, however the bottom 36" of our tree definitely has more decorations than the rest.
