Christmas 2015

The holidays were really fun this year! We made a paper chain in early December and I wrote a holiday-themed activity on each day. Some were small (e.g., wrap a present for a friend) and others were things like watching a holiday movie or making Christmas cookies. Oli got really excited about it and wanted to rip off the ring each morning when he woke up. They also really liked the tree (and the cocoa-flavored candy canes). 

We opened stockings first, ate cinnamon rolls, and then opened the presents under the tree. The opening went a little quicker this year compared to past years because Oli is much more adept at opening presents. They both had fun and were excited with all of the gifts. Thanks to all our family and friends who so generously sent them (and us) presents! 
Lots more photos to follow because I couldn't narrow them down.

The last week of the year was a great one. Christmas, our first big snow, and New Years Eve. Goodbye 2015!
