two years later...

The top picture was taken two years ago, the bottom last night. They are growing up too fast!

We had a ball making the cookies last night and will decorate them tonight when Ben gets home from work (and begins his eleven day vacation- woohoo!). We are planning on having our family Christmas this evening as well. Ben and I are so excited to give the kids their gifts, but I am more excited to watch Gracie and Luke give one another the gifts they each picked out. Gracie got Luke a Diego dress up set and Luke got Gracie some Princess dress up things.

Ben and I have two Christmas movies we'd like to watch tonight once the kids are asleep, then we have a bit of packing to complete before hitting the road tomorrow. We are really excited to head home for Christmas!
