Christmas 2018
The celebrations were endless and we all had a blast. First up was a visit from St. Nick and our first ever Elf on the Shelf, and the kids names her Muffin.

Next up was a trip on the Polar Express with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. They took a trolley ride from Manitowoc Coffee to the Holiday Inn (the North Pole) where they got to see Santa, and make some crafts, decorate cookies all while wearing the Pajamas, just like the movie Polar Express.
We decorated Christmas cookies.
Blake had his first school Christmas concert. Lots of people there to watch our "tree" in the concert. He didn't want to participate, but he didn't cry so we will count it as the win. Both Jim and I were there, along with sister Hailey, Grandma Anderson, Grandma Skubal, and Great Grandma Mott. Aunt Jenny & Uncle Brian along with cousins Johanna and Lyla were also there too.

Santa came a day early to the Anderson house so the kids had to put cookies and milk out for him. Although Ms Hailey wanted to eat the cookie she put out for him.

| Awwww.... |
We weren't done yet. The weekend following Christmas we had one more celebration at my parent's house. It's always a nice way to finish off the Christmas season. It's a relaxing day where we eat brunch, open presents, play with new things, and play games (for the adults).
