Twas the Night Before Christmas...

and not a creature was stirring, except Mango of course. He thought Alana's new carseat was just perfect. He and Alana took turns sitting in it all day.

Chistmas Morning

We had a wonderful Christmas. Nana, Grandpa, and Uncle Jimmy were also there to help celebrate, which made Christmas even more special. Sorry, forgot to take pictures of the adults, but you know everyone wants to see pics of the kids anyhow.

Here is Princess Alana with her favorite gifts - a new carseat from Santa, a trunk of princess clothes from Uncle Jimmy, and musical instruments from Nana and Grandpa.

Took a couple minutes, but Alana got the hang of tearing into gifts before too long.

What's this? Santa brought Chace lots of games this year.

Gingerbread House

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been crazy! Here is the gingerhouse we decorated before Christmas. Alana and her friend Lauren did most of the work, with some creative directions from Chace. And most of the candy even stayed on through Christmas.
