Our annual tradition of spreading reindeer food on the yard while wearing new PJ's opened on Christmas Eve
Santa filled our stockings!
Obviously Santa is real, Riley's parents would never get her a Green Bay Packers shirt
Santa put lip balm and hand lotion in our stockings, he knows how cold and dry our winter air is!
Logan enjoyed pulling paper off presents then playing with the paper (not the presents)
Star Wars lego set!
"The cold never bothered me anyway!"
Lots of hands to assemble the gifts
Little Ballers
Show us how to shoot a basket, Daddy!
