Christmas at Home

I LOVE the new jammies Christmas Even tradition. This year we went easy and found coordinating jammies at Costco. They were perfect! The kids were pretty excited too! I think this may be Carter's last year of footie jammes....**sniff sniff**  

I love our little family time together Christmas Eve after all the festivities with extended family. 

The littles were stoked to put out the cookies and milk for Santa. !

CHRISTMAS MORNING!  Bry makes the boys stay blocked off down the hall and then rants and raves about all he can see while the boys anxiously wait! Sweet Maylee had a nasty case of pink eye. Poor think woke up with her eyes glued shut and some serious puffiness going on.  A couple weeks too late Carter asked for a kitchen....but Santa already planned on a pink one for Maylee. Carter thought it was his and ran over and hugged it. He still talks about getting a red kitchen next Christmas. Silly kid.

The boys took turn being the "elf" and handing out presents. I love to see them recognize everyone's names on the presents. 

The spiderman masks from Poppie and Grammy were a huge hit! (along with the jets and dragon knight costume!)

Fell in love with our ornament from my parents this year. Super cute!

That night we went out to see Christmas lights in a neighborhood. In all my brilliance I thought we would grab french fries for the kids to each...on Christmas...around 7:30 PM...riiiiight. Everything was closed. We were saved by a Del Taco we happened to pass on one of the exits we tried! whew...

I love Christmas and the Christmas season. I try to savor it each year and make it a bit less stressful and to really enjoy it all...but it still always goes by too quickly....but then again, I am sure it will be here again before I know it!
