Thankful we got to connect and have adult conversation over the dinner table. They girls enjoyed their night too! While we were out Mimi let the girls build a gingerbread house. Although I was told Ivy did more eating than constructing ;). Their house turned out beautiful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062032.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131221-062032.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062032.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062045.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131221-062045.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062045.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062050.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131221-062050.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062050.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062057.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131221-062057.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-062057.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-070243.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131221-070243.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131221-070243.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Saturday, Chris got some father-son time on the golf course while the girls went to practice for their Christmas performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065413.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full alignnone\" alt=\"20131222-065413.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065413.jpg\" \/> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065423.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131222-065423.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065423.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">On the way home Deedee treated the starving girls to lunch (Thank you!) and Lisa made mad dash to get a few things done before heading across the street to enjoy hot coco and treats on this warm December day while waiting for Santa to pass by our houses<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065935.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131222-065935.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065935.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065949.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131222-065949.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065949.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-070008.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131222-070008.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-070008.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-070129.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131222-070129.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-070129.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065955.jpg\"><img alt=\"20131222-065955.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131222-065955.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day we stayed in and dry (except grandpa and daddy ran to the store for a few items).

Katie stayed home since she had gotten to stay the night a couple times. It was late when we got home from the Christmas show so we skipped baths, grabbed a burger and fires (girls said they were hungry but none at much), played a little, then opened the surprise from Mimi. Once the girls saw the surprise they wanted to go night night so they could have stars on the ceiling. Sara woke up between 3:30 and 4, ready to go play and craft. After assuring her it was not time to get up I put her back down but it required me going up and down the stairs a few times which ultimately kept me from going back to sleep till close till Chris&#8217;s alarm went off for work then the girls were up. I was too tired for craft time so the girls played while I cooked breakfast and played more afterwards for me to get alert. We decided to head to Stacy&#8217;s house and I took some of the crafts for the 4 muchkins to do together. Blessed getting to make sweet memories with the girls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our Christmas Tree cinnamon rolls for breakfast<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131223-233850.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131223-233850.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131223-233850.jpg\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131223-233906.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20131223-233906.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ccomfort.com\/family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131223-233906.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These girls had a blast!
