Hunter helped keep Regan entertained all night long; thank you!
Logan had her hands full between playing with Sidney and chasing after Hudson! Pretty soon it won't take Sidney 90 minutes to warm up to her cousins and she'll be off and playing as soon as we walk in the door. 
Sidney all decked out ready for the Christmas eve Children's Mass. 
Regan enjoying what might be her favorite present of the year, a harmonica! Thankfully it's not a loud musical instrument and she plays a pretty good tune. 
Our annual tradition is to get a family photo in front of Grandma Sheri's tree :) It's getting harder to find room to stand with all those presents underneath! 
In hopes to make it to New Ulm tomorrow for all the festivities, Santa is coming tonight! The girls set out cookies for him, one from each of them. Regan nearly leaped into bed tonight saying "he's in the chimney, I have to get into bed!". 
In awe, wishing we could get a koi pond of our own.
Regan hard at work eating, I mean placing, all the candies into their own spot. 
Our final product; not bad I must say!
This is Regan's version of Jingle Bells; cracks me up! Listen carefully ("oh mac fun easter ride" in place of "oh what fun it is to ride")!
Sidney even let me put a bow in her hair!
Regan and Aaliyah (took a lot of convincing to get them to stop playing for 2 seconds and pose for this picture). 
Regan with her outrageously expensive popcorn; we were essentially rink side which is the only way to go with little ones. 
Goofy (and Mickey and Minnie too) made an appearance!
All of the prince/princesses during the finale
Sidney is 15 months old. She is such a wonderful little girl! She weighs just over 21 lbs (official stats coming Monday), is loving, sweet, playful and has a bit of a temper! Let's just say she knows what she wants and wants it now-such a female! 
Sidney resembled "Randy Parker" from A Christmas Story! And yes, she fell down and couldn't get back up :) So stinkin cute! 
That face is absolutely precious! It's a real smile, with a real laugh behind it. She was in her glory. 
Pardon Sidney's eyes (and her nuk still in place), we headed to the doctor after presents and turns out she still has an ear infection and maybe pink eye. Poor thing. She was a good sport this morning though. 
Regan paitently waiting to open her presents: books, sticker books and a nativity scene! 
St. Nick brought the girls a nativity scene; thank goodness because then I got a chance to set mine out too! Theirs is more exciting, it lights up and plays music! 
We had a playdate today with the Schwartz clan and we were so happy they were able to stay all day long! The kids had a great time, even though Regan wasn't exactly playing games fairly with Thomas (I don't really think he minded that he didn't win at Pretty Pretty Princess anyway!). She talked about them all night long and I'm sure she'll be dreaming about all their fun tonight :)
Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, we bundle up and head downtown New Ulm to watch the parade of lights. This year was no different, except Regan really got into the whole thing. She was thrilled when Santa went by and stood in amazement starring down the street after he passed (even though he was the last float and everyone else had packed up to leave!). She was so excited that he had yelled "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas" to her! I can't wait for her to see the Holidazzle parade tonight. Having kids is so much fun!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed lots of turkey! Sidney was a little under the weather, but we were still able to enjoy our day. We're thankful her fever and cold didn't last long!
Grandma Sheri might need to baby-proof this cabinet. Although from her mouth "oh, that's ok!" Our girls can do no wrong in her mind :) Sidney had a wonderful time shaking all the spices and cookie decorations, good thing the covers stayed on tight!
I attempted to put a bow in Sidney's hair this weekend, but she tore it out only minutes after I took the picture. Too bad because it's so cute!
