Christmas Eve

 We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at our own house!!! I can't even express how exciting it was.  In 12 years of marriage, I believe we have done this one time: when I was 38 weeks pregnant with Jake.  This is one thing we definitely love about living closer to our families.  It felt great to spend the full week together and get to experience Christmas in a different way.  Our Christmas Even morning began with a surprise breakfast treat...

  Reading Jesus' birth story...

 Papa and Granmama joined us for our celebrations and it was fun to host family for the holidays!  Here are the boys as we're getting ready for Santa...

 Can't forget the milk and cookies...
