Hello again, dedicated reader(s)! AHA! I'm finally getting around to covering Christmas...I mean, hey, it's only March #nobigdeal.
I had written a long paragraph on my feelings about and history with Christmas, but meh...no one is here for that (also, I think I posted the same type of rambling last Christmas). Let me just say that I never truly loved Christmas or the holiday season until I had a nugget and was able to experience it with her.
Moving on to the part you all actually CARE about: show me that toddler!
Rewinding back to early December, we took OG to the local mall to meet and greet the one-and-only Santa! As you may recall, last year was a mess. No one was happy. If you don't recall this was the BEST shot they got:
Luckily, this year was MUCH better! OG was still shy, so she did run away on the first attempt. Then, after a short walk around the mall (and purchasing some Tsum Tsum stickers as an incentive), we approached again and she agreed to sit on Santa's lap.
Santa's unwitting helper, OG, wore:
-Black & Red striped dress (Meijer?)
-Black leggins
-Red sequined headband
-The coolest toddler army boots ever...they are a total OUTFIT ENVY moment!
OG sharing her stickers with Santa
No smile, but no tears either. And at least Santa is smiling in this one! We'll take it!
After a successful Santa visit, we were driving home and OG happened to get a *bit* carried away with her new stickers...
Intense session of "let' stack all of the stickers on one hand"
Now onto "let's peel them off one-by-one and stick them..."
"...all over my legs and seat!"
Then: CHRISTMAS EVE! As always, we spent the evening before Christmas at Dedi's house - celebrating with family!
OG wore her Christmas dress again. No judgement.
The antlers strike again!
What a cool ladybaby...
Momma and Dedi in their holiday finest! The "Christmas Mink" and Antlers.
The whole gang playing "The Wrights" - family edition
Mike won an earwax candle kit! hahaha Look at the joy on his face!
Playing "Shut Yo'Mouth"
Fact: No one looks more beautiful than when playing "Shut Yo' Mouth"
We spent the wee hours of Christmas morning at our house, opening gifts.
OG Wore:
-Her 2017 Christmas jammies (flannel pjs with cute deer and whatnot)
SANTA BROUGHT A TRAMPOLINE!!!
OG loved it, of course!
Here's a clip of the action!
Then, off to Dedi's for brunch and gifts with the Wolfslers!
Family Portrait - en route!
Family Portrait #2 - "You guys are embarrassing me"
Dedi and OG opening gifts
Awee & EG opening their stuff - not paying attention to the fact that I'm taking pictures
Dada was SO thrilled to get a Justice box - haha
Next stop: Grandma & Grandpa's house! I think we were all a bit sleepy at this point, so I didn't get many pictures. #mommafail
New art table and art supplies!
Weee! Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa!
And finally, a post-Christmas walk checking out the local lights...
