Christmas Day

The kids (and parents) did not get much sleep last night but they had a great time today opening some presents and getting to play with their new toys. It helps when it is 65 degrees and sunny in Georgia today! Big items for Brendan included a “big boy” bike and a “choo choo” train.  For Brielle, it was a “big stuffy unicorn” and a bean bag chair for her room. They also both got walkie talkies which were a big hit

After we had lunch the kids headed outside with a few of their friends to ride bikes . Brendan is working on his balance bike skills!

Merry Christmas from the Knight Family! We love the Carter’s matching Santa jammies!

The Magic of Christmas Eve

Brielle and Brendan could barely contain their excitement tonight on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa! It is such a fun evening when the kids are this age. They opened up their gifts from Snowflake which were matching Santa jammies from Carter’s of course 🙂

They put out cookies, milk, and M&M’s for Santa:

And we could not forget about carrots and water for the reindeer. They decided that the back deck was a better landing pad for Rudolph instead of the front porch! Good thinking!

Breakfast With Santa

We had a great time visiting with Santa at our neighborhood clubhouse this morning.  I love all the great events that our neighborhood puts together for the kids.  Brendan was a litle shy at first but he warmed up for a quick talk about his “choo choo train” that is at the top of his list this year.  Brielle made sure Santa knew about the “giant stuffy unicorn” at the top of her list.

2019 Santa Pictures

Our old pre-school Kids R Kids in Mableton used to partner with a local photographer to offer pictures with Santa. We had done it the last couple years and liked the event and pictures.  When we moved this summer, we knew we needed to find an alternative.  Brielle and Brendan both take swim lessons at Atlanta Swim and we discovered that they host a holiday party that features pictures with Santa. The best part is that they allow you to use your own camera!  As a photographer this was exactly what I was looking for.  When we arrived they even had LED light stands setup so no flash needed!

Brendan initially got scared and did not want to go see Santa but after watching big sister Brielle go up he built up some courage and did a complete 180.  We even got smiles and a handshake from him!

2019 The Adventures of Snowflake the Elf

Snowflake made her appearance at our new house the night after Thanksgiving and went on all kinds of adventures this year. Follow her as she brings the Christmas spirit to the kids every morning. Of all our Christmas traditions, this is probably my favorite! Kudos to Crystal for it is her creativity that inspires Snowflake each night!

Happy Halloween! 2019 Pirate Theme

Halloween is a big holiday in our family.  It could be argued that it is the biggest holiday.  Our kids love Halloween and Crystal loves working on all the costumes! The family costume tradition started in 2014 with Brielle’s first Halloween and has continued since then. I think Crystal will do it has long as the kids will let her!
