Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
We woke up Christmas morning and were so happy to see that Santa had been there!
We even heard a little rumor that it took Santa’s elves 3+ hours to put together the play kitchen for the boys! 🙂 Totally worth it.
When the boys were up, I got out my big camera so here’s the morning in pictures…
It doesn’t get much better than Santa, presents, pancakes and chocolate milk! Merry merry!
Welcome back! Another Christmas come and gone…but it sure was a good one. We got to see tons of family and make some memories in our new house. I really don’t think anything could have gone better! Most of the decorations are already down and my empty house is looking even more empty without all the Santas sitting around. A little sad, but we’ve got lots to look forward to in the weeks ahead! But first we’ve got to recap Christmas!
The buildup to the big day was fun all on its own. Christmas Eve we spent getting ready for Santa and hanging out with family. We went to the 12:00 “family friendly” nativity service up at church. The boys sure did look sweet all dressed up for church!
I love going to that service because the kids can come with us and they sing all the classic Christmas songs you know while telling the story of the nativity. Both boys acted great – Maxwell was a star and Spencer got an A thanks largely to about 6 graham crackers! 🙂
I spent the afternoon cooking away for Christmas and was glad to have my helper to taste test everything…well, the desserts anyway!
That night, my family came over for some Feliz Navidad tacos and then we set out cookies, milk and reindeer food…
and then we all settled in for a long winter’s nap….
Wishing you all the merriest of days!
It’s here! Christmas Eve! We’ve been getting ready around here…
We’ve all gone to Christmas parties with friends…
we’ve all posed in front of the tree…
and we’ve all been acting in the spirit of brotherly love! 🙂
The boys kicked off their present opening yesterday with their Christmas Party with Mrs. Susan! The party was complete with popcorn and cupcakes for Baby Jesus. Perfect! She then let them open her gifts from her and, let me just say, she knocked it out of the park!
Rocket ship pi’s…
and GIANT firetrucks!
Talk about 2 happy little boys!!!
Thank you so much Mrs. Susan for the awesome gifts and for ALL that you do!
We LOVE you!
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
On Friday of last week we finally decorated the candy house! I love doing it – even if it makes a huge mess and the boys eat more candy than they put on the house! 🙂 In both 2012 and 2013, it was really just me and Maxwell doing the decorating…and really more of just me! This year, Spencer got to get in on the fun and Maxwell definitely took charge!
Just like in previous years, there was a LOT of candy eaten and it wasn’t long until the sugar high kicked in!
In the end, we had a very festive creation and two happy boys!
Maxwell’s side…
Spencer’s side…
The back that I did a lot of…
and the front!
Best one yet I think! 🙂 Christmas fun!
