Girls Christmas!

Every year my girlfriends and I get together to celebrate the season. We started before any of us had kids. Every year it seems to grow and grow.  This year was no different.  Anne hosted since she has a new house.  Colton and Evie were busy building trains. 

The girls were hanging in the kitchen eating and drinking.  Sadly, my stupid tooth was giving me some pain so I didn't get to eat or drink as much.

Most of the kids got along well and there was minimal fights.  But lots of noise!

And then.....Santa showed up!

The kids were so excited to see him!

He had presents for all the kiddies.  Colton took his present but wouldn't sit on Santa's lap.

Baby Matthew joined us this year for his first Christmas! 

Gracie went up and wants an American Dolly house.  

Presley wants Mashers and Power Rangers.

Evie wants an American Dolly.

The Dunn boys want lots of neat things too!

Miss Shelby wants all kinds of goodies!

All of the kids with Santa.  What a magical time!

Then us girls got in on some Santa action too!

Then some of us whipped up a nice little gift for Santa in addition to his annual gift card.

It says "Santa Gil" and we made it especially for him!  He is our favorite Santa!

This year us girls bought Christmas socks and filled them with goodies.  

Although the kids were more excited about giving each other their presents. 

All of us girls wearing our new socks!  Mine are the red and white ones.  Very comfy!

Then we put on our jammies for one last picture before the end of the night!

I think all the kids had so much fun! 

What a great way to celebrate the season with all of our special and favorite friends! 

Santa's Workshop!

This weekend we went the the middle school for "Santa's Workshop."  The middle schoolers were all excited and dressed up for the occasion.  There was plenty to do. First up, the kids made reindeer food.  We need that for Christmas Eve!

Then the kids got to go talk to Santa (who was a dressed up middle-schooler.  Adorbs.)

We got our picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus too!

Then we went and decorated cookies!  Yum!

Then the kids wanted to color some Christmas pictures.

Next, we went and made crafts!  Super cute.  We made a holly wreath, a Christmas Santa countdown and a snowman out of a paper plate.

Then we went and played reindeer games like "pin the nose of the snowman."

It was a jolly good time!

Mueller Christmas!

Today was the annual Mueller Family Christmas! It was so much fun as always!  You see, my dad comes from a family of 13 kids so we don't fit anywhere except for in a hall! 

We all take turns taking pics in front of the Christmas tree.

Gracie was there too with her cousin Addie.

Evie couldn't wait to dive into the pazelles.

All my awesome aunts were there!  Except Aunt Maureen.  We missed you!

Santa even showed up!  Presley said he wanted some Mashers.

Evie wanted an American Dolly.

I am not sure what Gracie said she wanted.

Even us cousins got in on some Santa action!

The kids had so much fun coloring.

Chuck was able to leave work for a little bit and come eat and have some fun!

More cousins!  I love these girls!

Then Santa Bobby passed out gifts.  The kids were so excited!

Bub got some Quixels and Legos. 

Evie got some Shopkins and Gracie got some Frozen stuff and a music box.

But they had fun playing with Addie's fashion plates.

Then it was time for the dollar grab bag. It's always fun to see what everyone gets.

We always wrap up the evening with a huge game of LRC.  This year Aunt Judy won and she handed out the money to all the little kids.   Each of my kids scored $4!  Thanks Aunt Just!

Another great Mueller Christmas in the books!
