Winter Wonderland

This December has been full of holiday parties, sleepovers & Christmas celebrations! 

We started off this holiday season right by heading to see Santa!!

Jayden loved him from afar but up close she was a little nervous. She wouldn't crack a smile until Jonathan and I came & sat with her!

Love Santa's expression in this photo and the twins staring at him!

Love these crazy girls! They keep it interesting for sure!

Jayden's not paying attention, Savannah's just chillin', Sophia's about to lose it and Ella's like "mom another picture?!"

That same day we had our family holiday pictures taken! I LOVE them all and I'm still surprised with how perfect all 3 girls were for the photo shoot! 

Here are a few of our favorites...

So happy with how the pics came out! Also so glad my mom came to help entertain the girls and get them smiling! We even got some great shots with her and the three little ones! <3

The next weekend we had Ella for an overnighter and had such a fun time! I love how much our girls get along and how much fun they have together!

Arms Up! 

Party Time! Ella's coming for a sleepover!! 

 

Cuddle time while watching Thomas the Train! 

Seriously such a fun morning! 

One of my favorite laughable moments...while Ella was over she started calling me mommy after she heard Jayden calling me mommy. So I reminded her I'm her auntie nay nay and then all the sudden Jayden started calling me auntie nay nay...so I had to reminder her I'm her mommy. Then once she started calling me mommy again so did Ella. It was a vicious cycle and I eventually gave up and let the girls just call me mommy. They are too funny! :)

Love these two year old toddlers! <3 

Jonathan also had a ton of fun with Jayden & Ella while I took Sophia & Savannah to a shopping fundraiser at the new Carlsbad outlets! They were perfect while mommy finished some Christmas shopping :)

 

After Ella left, we took out the holiday decorations and put up the tree!

Jayden loved putting up the ornaments and now one of her favorite things is rearranging her ornaments every single day! It's too funny! 

We also have a visitor in our house right now! Elf on the Shelf is officially an Erickson tradition!

Jayden decided to name him Mr. Bandit haha

I sometimes forget to move him, but Jayden doesn't care ~ she just likes seeing him every day!

36 weeks out!

The first week of December, the girls were officially 36 weeks old!

Crazy to think this was me 36 weeks ago!!!

Yikes! That was one big belly!

It's been a fun and hectic December...but one of my favorite things was when my sis took Jayden to Disneyland last weekend. Jonathan and I didn't get to go since we don't have passes anymore, but Jayden had a blast and still talks about it every day!

Arms up again! (If you can't tell they love putting their arms up when they are excited!)

Off to the happiest place on earth!

Best Auntie B and Uncle Al in the world!

BFF's FOREVER!

We still have a ton of fun planned for the girls in the upcoming week before Christmas! 

 But I can't wait to celebrate Jesus's birthday this year! Between it being Sophia & Savannah's first Christmas and Jayden starting to understand the meaning of Christmas...it's a VERY special year we will never forget :)

Happy Holidays <3
