Merry Christmas 2014!

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Santa Claus somehow, someway made his way to visit the Atlanta Hardins. My mom and Chase were here to celebrate the fun! 

Our beautiful tree!

Breakfast casserole and orange danishes are the tradition!

Visit with Santa 2014

We took the kids to visit Santa Claus at the historic Lawrenceville Courthouse just like last year and the year before that...

Naughty or nice? They had their list ready for poor old Santa this year..ha! I think Layla's perspective of Santa has changed a lot from the first time she saw him in 2011.

Making ornaments in the elf's workshop.

Carter made a reindeer.

Layla made a Santa Claus.

Santa's sleigh!

Tacky Christmas Sweater party!

Al and I attended our first tacky Christmas sweater party tonight! What fun! Turns out, I am married to the winner.

I have to admit that I would have been pretty shocked if Al didn't win hahaha! Al was a sport wearing a woman's vest and mine was an XL and huge.

My girls!

A tacky sweater party selfie with my winner!

Happy about his reward! A tacky sweater coffee mug along with a Starbucks gift card.

Al and Addi's dad, Zack! They had their tacky on for sure.

Hot Chocolate bar for all the kiddos!

And a book exchange for the kids. We figured with their parents all looking silly, they needed to walk away with something.
