The last 2 weeks have been filled with family traditions and celebrations.  The Schraeder tree was adorned with new ornaments from St. Nick when he visited on Dec. 6th. I got a Snow Baby, Sofie got a Santa one and Scott got a sock monkey that was going fishing.  Savana got a flamingo to represent the Waterford Flamingos.

Most nights were spent watching Christmas shows and chilling out.  This is a huge part of our traditions at this time of year.

Scott had a birthday sprinkled in on Dec. 20th. Our family has actually made a whole separate holiday called “Scottwanzaa”,  also known as the 5 days of Scott.  So this year I spoiled him with a surprise facial and massage and lots of other goodies throughout. I took him out for a nice dinner and then out to Martini Moz. Enough said there. Happy 40th baby!!

The girls both perfomed in the church Sunday School program. We were so proud of Sofie who knew many of the words and loved watching her little head bob up and down to the music.  Savana accompanied the whole church on her guitar with “What Child is This.” Yes, I cried. I was so proud of both of my girls!

We continued the Scottwanzaa/Christmas celebration with his brother and wife. It was the kick off to the official Christmas week.

Sofie loved her pillow pet that Santa brought her.  She was co cute all day just randomly putting it out in the Universe, Thank You Santa for my pillow pet.  She is so sweet and will NEVER stop believing in Santa. She brings a lot of smiles and magic to the holidays that’s for sure.
