christmas 2016 in albuquerque

posted by mommy and daddy

we went to albuquerque for christmas this year to spend time with grammie, gampa and greats. we were there for a week so we got to do a lot of fun things like having the kiddos bake cookies with grammie, playing games with gampa and spending quality time with greats. it's always enjoyable when we get to spend the holidays with family.

grammie made the boys fun aprons

learning from the expert

eloise loved the shakers

evie loved rolling out the gingerbread dough

hard at work decorating

it was messy but fun

sibling rocketship

posted by eloise

sometimes i'm the one that get's forced into these boyish imaginary escapes. leave it to evie to turn a laundry basket into a rocket and make me be the passenger. with evie in the driver seat, who knows where we're going. i will remember these things when it comes time for me to host a tea party. my time is coming soon and everything my brothers have made me do will be paid back in full.

can you tell how excited i am to be in this rocketship

just wait until i make you dress up for my tea party
