Christmas Starts NOW!

Tomorrow starts our four days of Christmas, but we have been celebrating all throughout the month.



We had a visit from St. Nick who brought the kids each a pair of Christmas jammies and an ornament!











We had Breakfast with Santa and have taken many rides to look at Christmas lights.



We have been opening our Advent calendar everyday.  Luke has been really good about always breaking off a piece of chocolate for Paige.  I think next year we will need 2 Advent calendars!





We have watched many Christmas movies and shows and baked cookies.



We have had Christmas Programs and Preschool Christmas Parties (where two little boys ate more than they decorated!).



(Terrible picture of Luke, but he wanted to show me the ice cream sundae he made!)






We have enjoyed the coziness of Christmas decorations.



We have shopped and wrapped and then shopped some more!



We have read many Christmas books and sang many Christmas songs.



We are ready for the big guy to make a stop at our house! 



We are ready to spend time with our families!  Though we have finally made the tough decision that traditions will have to change next year, we are excited to do it like we always have at least one last time!

We are ready for Christmas!  I hope you all are too!  Have a very merry one!

St. Nick

St. Nick made a stop at the Zukowski house! He may have been a day late (St. Nick was prepared, but this Momma forgot to have her children put out their shoe before they went to bed Monday night. Luckily, St. Nick was kind enough to stop by on Tuesday night), but he left some goodies!

Paige made out with some new teethers and Luke got The Lion King movie and book that he has been wanting for quite some time.



Here is Luke coming out of his room and seeing his gifts for the first time (I was prepared for this...I was nursing Paige in the glider in her room which has a perfect view of Luke coming out of his room. I was balancing taking the camera and feeding Paige, but I got a couple of good ones!).







Showing Daddy what he got!
