Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas Eve and day. This year Nate was off Christmas Eve and day! On Christmas Eve we started baking our cookies for Santa fairly early. After we were done baking and decorating we went to see Arthur Christmas. We all enjoyed the show. After nap time we went to our church's Christmas Eve service, followed by dinner and checking out a house nearby that had their lights set to music. When we got home the boys scattered their reindeer food outside, opened up their Christmas pjs, then got everything ready for Santa.

Shortly after Nate and I got into bed we heard little feet running to our room. It was Ry. He was soooo excited to see Santa had already come. From 1:00 until 5:20 he woke me up every hour begging me to get up to open presents. After waking up Daddy, Gigo and Nana they were more than ready to open gifts. Rylan spent Christmas day and today in his pjs. He finally bathed and changed pjs before going to bed tonight. Austin wore his pjs for most of the day before changing into a crazy t-shirt and shorts (his normal attire on non-school days). We spent the day playing their new video games, board games and with all their fun toys. We ended the day with star gazing through Rylan's new telescope.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well!
