Christmas 2008

I have a little bit of free time so I thought I would post about our Christmas. We got our Christmas tree on Sat. the 13th. of December. If we get it too early it's dead by Christmas Eve. We have a very dry house.

That's right, our tree came in a box. We decided to go artificial....we got a pre-lit, pre-shaped one and it's gorgeous!

The girls were big helpers when it was cookie-baking time. Both helped with a few different kinds.


Earlier in the month Santa made a guest appearance at dance class.



They also went to a Breakfast with Santa at The Legacy with Grandma Ziegler.

Renee enjoyed her Christmas party at school. Dirk wasn't able to come this year so it was just me. But that didn't bother Renee. Here she is singing with her 2 friends, Allie and Lilianna.





We celebrated with Grandma Ann early this year, as she was going to be out of town on the actual day. "Aunt" Barb was there but Uncle Marc had an emergency so wasn't able to come. Barb had a ball buying frilly things for the girls and they loved them. She got them beads to make necklaces/bracelets and pink and purple pj's to go under little tutus with feather stolls.


The biggest hit was the fleece robe Grandma made for each of the girls: Tinkerbell and Cinderella. She also made matching pillows with some extra fabric. Kaitlyn screamed when she opened hers.




We went to Dirk's work party/dinner with Santa. This was the first time EVER that Kaitlyn would sit on his lap. Renee still said no but at least she got close to him.





I will post some more from our actual Christmas morning and the Ziegler Family Christmas.
