Christmas Eve 2014

What a fun day we've had!

we found Snowflake this morning...he brought gifts!

 He left a sweet good-bye letter

Cooper and Reagan took turns reading the letter

 for a few minutes, they could hug Snowflake and say their good-byes

Snowflake brought a MineCraft Enderman

 He brought skate guards for Reagan

 Cooper helped bake cookies...

 Reagan helped decorate them!

Sickly Snowflake

All of the travel back and forth to the North Pole has given Snowflake a little cold.  Good thing he only has one more night!

The Countdown

Snowflake let the kids know how many more days until Christmas!

 Cooper wanted to join in on the fun that Snowflake and Santa had yesterday!

Reindeer Games

Snowflake and Santa having a little fun!

Zip Line

Snowflake was looking for a little more excitement...he went zip-lining in the living room.

Swinging from the Chandelier

Snowflake has been found in some interesting places this year!!

this morning, we found him in the chandelier in the dining room!

In the Tree

Snowflake had spent the night in Cooper's room and mom & dad's room...so last night, he ended up in Reagan's room

Ornamentation

Snowflake came bearing gifts to the kids today...

 a soccer ornament for Cooper

 a snowflake ornament for Reagan

All Aglow

Snowflake must have known the kids liked all the lights at Shadrack's over the weekend...and he wanted them to experience lights at home.  He wrapped the banister in colored lights!!

Pretty as a Picture

Snowflake centered himself between two cute kids!

Buried Alive

Snowflake was buried up to his neck in fuse beads!  The kids had a hard time finding him this morning!

Night Lights

As promised by Snowflake, we took our annual Christmas trip.  Tonight we went to Shadrack's Christmas Wonderland.

Night of Lights

This morning, Snowflake left the kids a note that they would be going on a little adventure tonight!  Tonight was our annual "Snowflake Surprise Trip".

Don't forget to view pictures from our 2012 and 2013 trips here!

Christmas Pajamas

Snowflake brought the kids their Christmas pajamas a little earlier this year.  That way, they'll have longer to enjoy them!

In the Groove

Snowflake listening to some great Christmas music!

You Sank My Battleship!

A friendly little game between North Pole Natives!

Dentist Support

Reagan and Cooper had dental appointments today...and Snowflake was very supportive!

showing good dental hygiene 

Excellent report from the dentist - no cavities for either.  They were super excited that Cooper had stopped sucking his thumb...they made a HUGE deal of it!
