Christmas To-Do's

I love the spirit of Christmas. And I love seeing the holidays through the eyes of the girls this year. We are very much into Elf on the Shelf, her name is Leecy, baby Jesus, and pretty much the concept of presents a no-brainer to learn. I feel like I am making the round this year in terms of hitting the big Christmas hooplas..

So let the picture sharing of the season begin!

One of our favorite traditions is the Santa's Village set up in Richardson! Love this one with our good friends the Morris & Krchnak family!

I was also one of the Room Mom's to Volunteer for Carson's PreK3 Christmas party. I love being in a group of crafty moms. I have a loud mouth and can read a story and help keep kids in line, but no one will ever accuse of being a Pinterest queen. Fun but crazy 2 hours, God Bless the preschool teathers...

 I will never turn it down when she wants to pose giving me a BIIIIIGGG hug...

I love my pinterest friends!!

No party is complete without a proper craft!

Santa Run! A subset of the Stilettos LOVE to get together to participate in runs, keeps us from getting together for so many wine nights maybe? So we decided to sign up for this SUPER great run at the Shops of Legacy...Seriously, how great of an idea is this??

You cannot help but be in a fabulous mood when surrounded by 2000 Santas.

Me, Lacy & Kim

Kind of bizarre to see yourself as looking part-dudish. 

How many times do kids need to visit Santa? I think 5 times was our magic number this year. Carson event commented that his beard had grown quite a bit and that his glasses sure were different this time. I explained that they were like jammies, he could change it up on a nearly daily basis.

By this visit she had grown increasingly comfortable with Santa. Like they were old friends, even asking him if he remembered what she wanted him to bring.

And about 10 minutes later...Still chatting....

Caroline came a long way this year, but visit number 5 she was 'nearly' ready to give a smile. At least she sat there without moving?

All I want for Christmas is a LuluLemon gift certificate and some SLEEP!!
