Our Christmas

We had such a great Christmas this year. Christmas Eve was pretty laid back. We stayed home and had our usual chicken nuggets, fries, and milkshakes. And of course we had lots of yummy orderves and treats for Kasey and I. The boys got to open their usual Christmas pj's and also an ornament from my grandma and grandpa Doyle. We read The night before Christmas and of coarse put some cookies and milk out for Santa. Griffin insisted that Santa liked chocolate milk best, so we had to put out both chocolate and white milk. I guess he was pretty thirsty because he drank them both! The boys all went to bed surprisingly well and then the late night for mom and dad began!

We had a really nice morning, not too early. Mason was the first one up at about 7:30 and watched cartoons in our room until Griff woke up shortly after 8:00. The rest of the morning was spent opening presents, eating home made cinnamon rolls and playing with the new toys. It was really nice to be able to let the boys take their time and play with each toy. We didn't have anywhere to be until later in the day and it was really nice!



The boys got new snow tubes and Dax thought these were the best spot to be! He just chilled in the tube for a good part of the morning!

The rest of the day we spent with Kasey's family at his Grandma Cheryl's and Grandpa Roberts. We always have a good time there and of coarse get stuffed. We had such a great Christmas but I do have to say that I am glad to have it over! It is so much more stressful as an adult, but the smile on the boys faces makes it all worth it!
