This sassy pants and I could not WAIT for our Christmas company to arrive!!

We hit up the grocery one more time (or so we thought) and went home with….. well, nothing.

Lola ate it all!IMG_7516

No literaly she ate her lunch at the grocery complete with utensils and napkins thanks to the produce section and even made this pouty face at the check out for another ladys muffin….IMG_7517

Girl knows how to work a crowd, I mean seriously, look at that lip. The lady (whose muffin it was) made the cashier hurry up and scan them so she could open them up and give Lola one…

I can’t make this stuff up!

I will say she has pretty much eaten whatever she wants for brekfst the week of Christmas….

Some days sprinkles, other days cookies.

What can I say? We’re suckers.IMG_7737

This also meant that the gifts started and lasted all week long… especially after we all got together nd realized “oh shit, we all bought too much stuff and there is not enough wrapping paper in the world to wra this amount of presents…

IMG_7718

That’s not even including our over board nanny/coach Ms. Brittany who played Santa Claus on christmas Eve Eve….

Monograms glore, a trampoline, a new water bottle AND presents for mommy.

That girl doesn’t know how to NOT go overboard…

Oh how we love her…. and chocolate… did we mention we love chocolate!

So christmas Eve came and there was A LOT to get done!

I wantd to just paue that day and repeat it about three more times… I wanted to enjoy it and do nothing, I wanted to enjoy it and do everything.

We comprimised and did a little bit of both!

Lola and I decided first things first… Make Santa some fresh cookies and then go visit him one last time!

IMG_7810

Ok so visiting him one last time was my idea… wishful thinking.IMG_7811IMG_7812

It may be Christmas Eve nd we have 6 outfits with tas still on them we havn’t even had a chance to wear yet and what does se ear on Christmas eve… Nothing.

Absolutely nothing but a Chrsitmas tree headband and lovie.IMG_7824IMG_7831IMG_7832IMG_7841

Lola had a delivery requeest from Poppy and thankfully he sn’t known for being picky…. his cookie fell (and broke) about 3 times before it finally made it’s way too him…

Our little chef…

Then it was Ho Ho time and we bribed her with the park because this time Santa was at her favorite place ever… the square!

IMG_7757

The truth is we didn’t have to bribe her at all… she was still super excited to see him we did however get a “ughhhhhh” everytime we mentioned sitting in his lap….

We ended up being put in the very front of a line that had a bit of a wait to see Santa so we took turns waiting… phtoshoot…. waiting, coffee run…waiting….cookies etc.

Lola returned to me with a cookie bigger than her head and was the happiest little girl on the planet!IMG_7789IMG_7796IMG_7800

At least it made her happy for pictures!IMG_7886IMG_8170IMG_8171IMG_8173IMG_8175IMG_8176IMG_8177IMG_8180IMG_8185IMG_8187

Ok Lola its time to go see Santa….’'

Say What!?!?!

IMG_8172

Round two was pretty horrific as expected but at least the Santa looked better (and he was SO sweet!)!

I think we all deserved a little cheese dip after that!

We lost track of time a bit but eventually got our jams on, took one last pre Christmas picture and then it was time for The Night Before Christmas!

IMG_7909IMG_7926IMG_7927IMG_7934

I absolutely DIED over Lolas new thing she started doing just before bed… wait until the very end you see a little head tilt aong with “sure”!

IMG_7937IMG_7942

Sweet dreams my love!

We learned to say “presents will be here in the morning” instead of “Santa Clause is coming tonight!”…. you can imagine.IMG_7950

Then we like to say the “after party” started!

IMG_7717

IMG_7954IMG_7957

The presents looked so cute for about the first hour….. then we started throwing shit in bags and LITERALLY fighting over who got the bags versus wrapping paper….IMG_7963

Lou finished the activity table for Lola just in time!!IMG_7965

Here is our “Before”…

IMG_7869

…and After.IMG_7969

Our after incudes re-arranging the furniture about ten times to make it all fit….IMG_7970IMG_7972IMG_7979IMG_7982

think we started saying about 2:15 we were all done and going to bed…. Alex and  didn’t actually go to bed until about 4:15!!

Being Santas helper is no joke!

I still couldn’t believe the niht was finally here… it seems like just yesterday we put on her very first pair of Christmas Pajamas the night of her first Thanksgiving… Here we are about to celebrate her SECOND Christmas…

Merry Christmas Eve little one!
