We were a little late this year, but we got 'er done!! The boys had a blast helping and I think it turned out to be the best tree decorating we have done by far :-)
Christmas Eve
We did not do a traditional Christmas at all this year. For our "Christmas Eve" meal, I made Crockpot chilli and the boys LOVED it!!!! All of them ;-). We then had a bath, put our Christmas jammies on and opened our one Christmas Eve present (tradition). Jacob opened his Camera and Caleb opened his Mickey Mouse & Friends set. They loved them, but mostly they both loved the camera. In fact...we had to put it away because they were fighting over it!! But they made up in time to put the cookies out for Santa and the carrots out for the reindeer. It was such a fun and relaxing day/evening and we enjoyed every minute!
Christmas Day
Christmas day was full of presents and eating. YUMMERS!! We were also able to do a Skype with ALL of Carleigh's family including Nana & Papa, Uncle Cale & Auntie Lauren and Grandpa and Grandma Miller. They had a blast!!! I love that they can do that and it really keeps them in their minds and they know exactly who they are when they come to visit or when we go visit them. SOOOO fun :-) Santa brought Jacob a train set with a mat, Caleb a fun Airport set including a big airplane, Matt a new cell phone and mom and dad a new waffle maker!! Lots of fun presents and we finished it off with an yummy untraditional dinner of make-your-own pizzas that were a complete hit! It was such a fun Christmas that we may decide to stay at home every year...
