A Holly Jolly Christmas

Being able to stay home for the holidays this year was such a blessing, especially since it was Reed's first and the first that Liam understood that Santa was watching!

The boys and I spent such great quality time together making memories. I was even able to host the kiddie cookie exchange for all Liam's best buddies, 20+ kiddos and their moms! Holy smokes, that was fun, I think...

Our Cookie Exchange Craft.

We made homemade stockings too!

Everyone needs a handprint ornament, even the pups! The stars and snowmen have the boys' pictures in them now.
 
We volunteered to host Christmas again this year.  It is so nice to have family visit us so that the boys can stay in their jammies and play with all their new toys!

Has Santa been here?


He left us a note thanking us for the cookies and milk??? What a polite guy!

Mater for the IPAD, maybe his favorite toy that Santa left for him.

The first of many Jake and the Neverland Pirate boats. By the end of it he had every boat and the entire cast and crew :)

Thanks Aunt Nicki!

"We need to play this right now."  Good thing Grandma gave us a new table and chairs for Christmas!

Reed really liked the foam blocks.

Santa left a two-wheeler! I think Reed is saying, "Nice wheels Bro!"


Reed fell asleep eating his dinner, poor guy!

We had a very special Christmas all the way around.  I am looking forward to next year when Reed gets to get in on the action!

If you could read Liam's mind you would hear, "Just leave the presents under the tree Santa! We're not supposed to meet face to face, that's why I have to go to sleep before you come!" As you can see, Liam still wants nothing to do with getting close to Old Saint Nick.

Santa's elf, Pluto, after a long trip back from the North Pole.  He had to make a quick overnight flight to take Santa our good and bad choices list, but he was back to his tricky ways after a nice warm bubble bath.
