Gingerbread Houses & Cookies with Nana!

A few days before Christmas we had our annual Gingerbread house and cookie making at Nana and Pop's house!  This is our kids favorite tradition and we always look forward to it!  We made lots of good cookies and had a great time together!!

Holiday Fun!

Christmas has come and gone but we did so many fun activities before Christmas!  We went to see the Nutcracker with CVDA, Character Work's Elf JR, Lewis Ginter Festival of Lights, and ice skating!  We stayed very busy the week before Christmas and loved every minute of it!

Santa and the Christmas Parade!

Last weekend we went to go visit the Legendary Santa and went to the Christmas parade!  The Christmas parade was a big hit and the kids loved it!  The Legendary Santa line was insanely long and slow but we finally got to see him (3.5 hours later!)  The McGuire kids had to leave for another event but the Nolan kids made it to the end.  The kids were very excited and Cora asked for a Pokeman book and Josh asked for a remote control Robot.  We'll see if Santa can bring those things!
