We were so excited that Nana and Papa Steve drove to Arkansas again! This time to celebrate Christmas together!!! We attended Christmas Eve mass at St. Vincent de Paul in Rogers.
The kids sat up on the stairs during the homily!
Another Stella dress for Ashley :) She got so many compliments after mass. Many people thought the sequins would go up and down as is popular right now but nope. It's just a sequin dress that probably weighed a good 8 pounds but she didn't complain once!
We set out cookies for Santa and the reindeer.
And woke up at 5:30am SO excited that Santa came!
We waited patiently until Nana and Papa came down and then it was presents galore!
After Santa and Mommy and Daddy presents we broke and had egg bake and caramel rolls!
Then Trevor assembled his new lego set - he is quick!
Then it was back to presents!!
The must have (i.e. hard to get) gift of the year was the Hatchimal. Lucky for Trevor that Nana and Papa tracked one down! (Actually 3 - since Sam wasn't interested they went to Sophia and Leah!). He was SO SO SO excited!!
It took FOREVER to hatch but eventually it did!
At night we fondued! A Hillins tradition!
The rest of the time that Nana and Papa were here we stayed busy. We took them to the Fayetteville Square to have burgers at Hugo's and to see the lights, and ride camels!
We magically grew candy canes!
We took a day trip to Eureka Springs!
We played Mr. and Mrs. Right and Left!
We had dance parties!
We went ice skating!
We checked out the Bentonville Square lights and had ice cream at Walton's!
We played at the Amazeum!
We showed off our karate moves and earned new stripes!
And we built Legos! Thanks for coming Nana and Papa! We love spending the holiday with you and creating memories for our hearts!!! Already looking forward to next year! XOXO
