The Updike's

Since we were having an Updike Christmas in Oklahoma, the kiddos were thrilled to be able to open their Christmas presents from Grandpa and Grandma Crossley early.  We sure love Skype - - so nice to be able to face time during these fun moments!       As always, they were surely spoiled!  Thanks a million Grandpa and Grandma Crossley!

So we may have been extra extra excited for Christmas this year.  So excited that we put our Christmas tree up a week before Thanksgiving.  (That is what happens when you don't get to put up a Christmas tree last year due to our move to Colorado).  Even our little Crewster was so excited to help put up Christmas decorations!            Getting ready to eat pizza dinner by the Christmas Tree It was way too cold and icy to actually put Christmas lights on the house . . . so we opted for Christmas lights around the kids window.  They loved it!  Even our little Elfie came for the Christmas Season. She left the kiddos a note and hot chocolate.    Making a Santa craft with marshmallows  Lily's Preschool Christmas Party  Making a Christmas Ornament  Playing toss the ornament into the Christmas tree with Ms. Jeannie ...
