2nd Annual Cookies with Santa

One of my favorite nights of the Christmas season is the night Santa pays a special visit to the Cease household!! He comes and reads sweet Christmas stories to the kids while they snacking on milk and cookies in their Christmas pjs. Seeing the kids faces light up when he walks in the door is the most precious sight in the world.  

Santa even brought each little boy and girl their very own Elf Magic!!! 

And everyone enjoyed milk and cookies and crafts.....

All the love for Santa! 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a VERY goodnight! 

Meeting Santa..again and again and again...

We had many encounters with Santa prior to Christmas day. We needed to make sure he knew what all was on our list and that we had been mostly nice! The kids both loved him this year which was so fun to watch. Our first meeting with Santa was at Aunt Megs Christmas Party! We even got to see Mrs. Claus! 

Next meeting was at Breakfast with Santa at Greystone! 

Next up, lunch with Santa after Sunday church. 

Caroline and John Collins had so much fun at school during the Christmas season...

She even go to be the STAR! 

We also had some fun at home decorating a little kid sized tree in our pjs! 

Homewood Christmas Parade fun with friends!

Christmas Decorations and Elf on the Shelf

It's Christmas time!!! We came home from Disney and started decking the halls. The MOST wonderful time of the year. The celebration of our Savior's birth and family gatherings. 

Also....we have an Elf! Caroline named him Sparks :) He reports to Santa if you've been naughty or nice and Mommy and Daddy love having his help! This is the night the kids met him. He brought them each an ornament to hang on their tree as well as a book and movie about how he came to be :)

Such a fun tradition that I will look forward to each year. Also, that hand hold!!!
