Of course, we were super busy getting ready for Christmas! The girls were in the Christmas play at church (Chloe was Mary and Megan was an angel). We made lots of cookies and visited Santa.
Our annual visit to Santa at the Somerset Collection in Troy!
Christmas Day! After the girls opened their presents, we had Nathan's family over for brunch and an early dinner.
Nathan and his mom took a Christmas baking class and made a yule log. Aren't the little mushrooms so cute?
The next day we had the "official" Christmas gathering for Nathan's family when everyone could attend. Lots of eating and presents! Look at the cute orange tree I made for the top of the fruit salad :)
Oops! I guess we started eating before I got around to taking photos. Not pictured: crispy waffles that were super yummy. We tried a savory version with stuffing that was also pretty tasty.
The girls had a really nice Christmas! Their favorites were some of the Star Wars toys they got (clearly purchased by Dad or the grandparents!).
After all of the festivities, it was time for our annual "Lets get a cold the week after Christmas" event. This year the winners were Megan and Mommy. Daddy was a distant second and Chloe did not even place because she dodged the germs enough to stay well.
Lots of extra rest and liquids later, 2015 came to a close in a very undramatic fashion. Walking tacos for our New Year's Eve dinner and getting to bed well before the ball drops. Let's hope we can all start 2016 healthy, well-rested, and ready for whatever is in store for us!
