Bella and Evelyn loved having Papa and Mimi here for Christmas! These are some of the "non-Christmas-y" fun we had going on!
Mimi was wrapping presents and tried to teach Bella how to sword fight with the empty cardboard rolls. As you can see, it didn't work in Mimi's favor! The girls had a blast "attacking" her with their cardboard swords!
We're a weird family. Luckily, we usually enjoy being weird together. On Monday night, we got a babysitter for the girls and all went to a great Italian restaurant called Ipps in downtown Woodstock. Dad and I got to enjoy being silly on our side of the table!
Bella helped Papa make his famous zebra cake! This was a delicious tradition in our house growing up, and we always believed Dad was the only one who knew how to make it right. (Turns out the recipe's actually on the side of the box. We were gullible children.)
Mimi and Bella, playing a new game on Mimi's phone. Phone and food are both great ways to bribe my children. I sense a parenting fail somewhere in there, but I'm choosing to ignore it.
The girls loved their extra one-on-one time with mom and dad, and we had just as much fun spending Christmas together at home!
