Breakfast with Santa 2015

My brother and sister-in-law were supposed to move to Texas at the end of the month, so I decided I wanted to do fun outings with the nieces and nephews before they left, a weekend for the girls and a weekend for the boys. I've had Sophie and Aidan overnight before, but never Carson or Livi, so I was excited for our special time together. Last weekend, Sophie and Livi spent the night, and my 2 year old daughter thought it was the coolest thing ever. She was one of the big girls, taking bubble baths in the Jacuzzi tub, drinking root beer floats and eating pizza, and watching Christmas movies and eating popcorn. The next morning, I surprised Livi and Sophie with Breakfast with Santa at the Botanical Conservatory. They got to eat breakfast, meet Santa and make crafts. And since I never took Livi's 6-year-old photos, we decided this was the perfect opportunity to get some great shots of her and Sophie with all of the beautiful Christmas decorations at the Botanical Conservatory. I'm so glad I got to spend this time with my beautiful and adorable nieces. They fill my heart with so much love, and they mean the world to me. ♥
