Christmas Day with the McGowan's

Christmas fun at Grandma Mc's! Missing Grandpa but we know he was there with us laughing at the kids doing laps with the doll stroller and jealous of us eating Nanny's cheesecake that Kim did an awesome job of baking to perfection.

Cookies for Santa

Kelsey and Dante helped to pick out cookies for Santa and his reindeer. We left our special "Santa dust" outside so Santa would see our house. And, we said goodbye to Buddy, our elf. We are hoping on his last night visiting us that he'll put Kelsey and Dante on his good list when he returns to North Pole tonight to report back to Santa.

Fun night driving around to look at the cool houses with "1,000+ Christmas lights" says Kelsey. 

Annual Christmas cookie day

Enjoyed our annual Christmas cookie day, this year hosted at Cioci and Uncle Joe's house. Kelsey, Kayleigh and Dante had full control over decorating all the cookie cutters. Hope you like sprinkles and thanks to Kim for her rolling dough skills. Santa and his reindeer are in for lots of tasty treats.

Dante smush those sprinkles in.
