We started our Christmas celebration on Monday night. We went to my sister's house for dinner and to exchange presents. This is the first Christmas my sister has lived in our town so it was a wonderful new tradition to start!
I also can't not show you our visit to see Santa Claus! Sawyer just lost both of his top front teeth. Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas and then starting singing the song, "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" to him! It was so funny! The boys loved it!
Christmas Eve morning we started a new tradition where we let the boys open one present. They LOVED this new tradition! ;-)
The rest of the day we spent doing some of our other traditions like making and decorating sugar cookies for Santa! And Grandma and Papa came over to spend the next few nights with us!
Once it got dark we put on our pajamas and got in the car and rode around to see Christmas lights. We also made sure to see the huge inflatables that are up each year!
When we got home it was time to spread out the food for the reindeer.
And sit out cookies and milk for Santa!
Then it was time to say goodbye to our elves, Daniel and Mason. Thank goodness there were no tears this year although Sawyer had to really hold them back!
And then we took a spur of the moment family picture in our pj's which I LOVE!
And then it was bedtime for the little guys! The rest of us enjoyed watching "The Holiday" while waiting on Santa!
Christmas morning I woke up early to get in my quick run for my streak. When I got back the boys had awoken and were ready for presents!
Papa made Sawyer a medal hanger for his gymnastics medals!
And Andy made Sawyer a pommel mushroom to practice for gymnastics!
And Cullen enjoyed his favorite part...the wrapping paper!
Later that morning Andy's sister, her husband and his mom, and my Dad and Stepmom joined us for lunch. We had a feast for sure! But I forgot to take a picture! ;-)
But we did get a few pics with my Dad and Stepmom!
And a couple of more family pictures too!
If you made it this far...thanks! I enjoyed sharing all our Christmas fun through pictures! We really had a very blessed Christmas! I hope you did too!
