Christmas Traditions

It seems like we have a few new/old traditions with our girls and our friends with are making the holidays even more fun. We have our visit to Santa, special ornaments for the tree, and the 2nd Impey/Lauer/Seffens Christmas with an evening of presents, lights, good food and fun , and our 4th annual visit with Krista and girls.

I wasn't sure how Brooke or Bri for that matter would do with the big guy this year, but they both did great and loved him! Brooke told him that she wanted a pink princess castle and sister wanted a bike!??! I hope Santa brings them what they want!!!



Each year since Brooke was born I have given her a new ornament to hang on our tree to remember what she liked or was into that year. This year was a Disney year at our house, so Brooke and Brianne got ornaments that matched their Halloween costumes and favorite characters at Disneyland. Brooke got Jesse and Brianne got Minnie Mouse

Brooke's ornament this year-Jesse the Cowgirl

Bri Bri's ornament -Minnie Mouse

Yeah-Jesse!

Decorating the Christmas tree is so much fun now that Brooke can help me/or boss me around (lol) on where the ornaments should go. When I was a kid I LOVED playing with the ornaments. They would interact and play with different decorations around the house. As we were putting up the ornaments I was watching Brooke do the same thing I used to do -it was so cute~

This is our second annual Seffens/Impey/Lauer Christmas. We have a tradition of getting yummy soup bowls, opening presents, riding in the back of Scott's truck to see the awesome Christmas lights, and having lots of fun! With 7 girls running around it can get crazy, but they all get along so good and it's so fun to see them enjoy each other's company. I feel lucky that I have these wonderful friends and to have their great families in our lives. Christmas is all the joy in life and my friends bring me great joy!

This is our 4th year of getting the girls together with Krista. The last three years we have been lucky enough to see Tara too! It is so much watching Brooke and Katelyn developing personalities and truly playing together. This year Emily and Bri Bri had fun chasing each other as they crawled around. Krista, as always, was the hostess with the mostest and spoiled us with treats and a little photo session too!
