Home for the Holidays!🎄

 Jace

Two days before Christmas, daddy was at work and tore his calf muscle. He went to urgent care and they sent him home. We were kind of sad that he got hurt, but that meant he was going to be home for Christmas! He usually works Christmas Eve or Christmas day every year! We went to Christmas Eve church service after making a delicious snowman pizza for dinner. We left cookies out for Santa and sprinkled reindeer food in the front yard. We got up early the next morning and Santa brought me a Nerf ball shooter just like I asked, with 100 extra Nerf  balls. I got lots of goodies in my stocking too. Mama made me a new apron and got me a cookbook and daddy got me a leather case for my knife. Bella picked out a snowball shooter and a taco puzzle, I can't wait for it to snow to use it. I made homemade lego gifts for daddy and mama. I also wanted to make dinner all by myself and I picked the menu a couple days before. I made stuffed shells, Christmas tree pesto bread sticks and a wreath veggie tray with hummus. We made several meals out of our new cookbooks and made special breakfasts for Papa and grandma when they came and spent the night.

Bella

I was so happy to know daddy was going to be home for Christmas. Daddy calls me nurse Bella because I like to get him his ice packs for him and wrap his leg. I'm taking really good care of him. I wore the other Christmas dress mama made for me to church on Christmas Eve and we so excited for Santa to come. We baked molasses cookies and I remembered to say goodbye to Buddy before bed. I got up early and saw that Santa had brought me two of the dolls that I wanted. One in a plaid shirt and the other in a Christmas dress. I was so happy. I got lots of goodies including a stuffed penguin in my stocking. Mama made me an apron and got me a cookbook too. Jace got me two new puzzles and a cabbage patch cutie. Daddy got us all a fan bike for workouts in the house. Jace made a delicious dinner and I tried lots of recipes from my cook book after that. I made Papa and I breakfast when he came down. One night while daddy and Jace went to wrestling, mama made me a blanket fort over my gymnastics bar and we read and played lots of games in there. We also made a snowman craft with the kit that Mr Brian and Miss Cyndi got me for Christmas. Mama hasn't worked since before Christmas either, so we are really enjoying our time home with all four of us 💕
