My niece and nephew visited us the past few days, and what a wonderful time we had. This is my sweet niece in her Santa hat. The kids coming to visit us every year during their Christmas break is a family tradition, and we've been doing it for years. I love this special time and look forward to it every year. This weekend we packed as much activity into 3 days as we possibly could.
My niece and I dressed up and went to the original "Miracle on 34th Street" movie at our historical Tennessee theater.
We baked lots of cookies and the kids decorated them. I love how cute kids do cookies and other sweet treats.
And of course, we had to make plates and mugs to leave out for Santa, right?
My nephew wanted to make a spanish mug...
We also went to see this movie. We snuggled up in the car and drove around looking at all of the pretty Christmas lights. (something I've been doing since my girls were little)
And of course, we had to have crafts. We made simple ornaments from kits picked out at Michaels this year to keep things easy, but the kids loved it nonetheless.
But most importantly, we laughed, we snuggled, we loved each other, and we created memories that will hopefully last a lifetime.
I hope you're enjoying this holiday week!
