Christmas came and went extremely fast this year! I spend months prepping and buying and it's all over in a few weeks. We put the tree up after Thanksgiving, but due to us being out of town for two weeks, we left it up until mid-January so we could enjoy it. This year, we bought a new tree (7.5ft) and I was very happy with it. I could fit all of the ornaments on it, with plenty of space to spare. This was also the first year we had furniture in the living room, so it more cozy.
I couldn't keep Izzie away from the tree if I tried. I put most of our indestructible ornaments towards the bottom, but she was pretty good about keeping her hands off (after enough warnings).
Brady always loves the tree as well. He loves pointing out all the ornaments that are his and he has collected over the years.
As always, Santa came to our house early because we aren't home on Christmas Day. As per tradition, the kids went outside to throw magic reindeer food to bring the reindeer to our house.
Time to put out cookies, carrots, and milk!
Izzie took a seat next to the plate and decided to eat the carrots. She liked dunking them in the milk too (I think she thought it was ranch).
She had the right idea that the carrots were for the reindeer. She started feeding her Clarice the carrots she had already partially munched upon.
Brady loving on Rudolph.
Izzie's "cheese" face.
Coming down in the morning. Izzie bumped her head on the gate prior to coming down, so she wasn't so happy.
The only item Brady asked Santa for this year was the Paw Patrol tent. Guess Santa was listening ;)
Chase and Skye from Paw Patrol were waiting for him in his stocking.
Izzie got Minimus from Sofia the First in her stocking.

Overall it was a very good Christmas for the kids.
Nice decor
