Christmas Day

After the kids played with their toys for a while, we headed over to Nick's parents house for Christmas lunch.

**Nick and I came home the day after Christmas and left the kids at my parents house for the next 3 days. They had a blast going to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags and going to see "Yogi Bear"

It was a pretty chilly day but they had a blast!

Christmas morning

The kids actually slept in Christmas morning, which was incredibly nice! They were so excited to open presents. They were able to play for a few hours before we headed over to Nick's parents house for Christmas lunch.

Christmas Eve

We kept up our Christmas eve traditions this year and it was so much fun...the kids were enjoying the magic of Christmas.

We made our Christmas cookies and reindeer food that morning.

Setting out the cookies and milk

I read them the "Elf on the Shelf" book one more time

before we said goodbye to our elf "Toonin"

Daddy read them "The Night Before Christmas"

**Then we head santa's sleigh bells and both kids ran to their beds and fell asleep so fast that Nick and I barely had time to kiss them goodnight. :-)

Family Christmas---Part 2

We opened presents with Nick's parents the night before Christmas eve and then celebrated with his mom's side of the family on Christmas eve. We had so much fun hanging out with family and the kids loved being with their cousins.
