We celebrated Christmas early with my family and will do later with John's because we need to be home on Christmas for church and because its lovely to start our own traditions! We were happy our schedule worked out the way it did this year. John went in on Christmas Eve for services and I got all the kiddos ready.
We do casual Christmas. We like it that way and we fit in well at our church like that.
I have the world's cutest kids. Love them!
And we're off to church to meet up with Daddy!
The boys (and Eden) came to service with us because the children's ministry was limited for Christmas services. They loved having their candles ready.
After church, John stayed for more services while the kids and I started a new tradition: take out pizza on Christmas Eve! Yeah!
Another new tradition: Each of the kids got to open and ornament and hang it on the tree before bedtime on Christmas Eve.
Eden was adorable in her Christmas tights!
Looks like Santa stopped by...
My Christmas morning breakfast was a flop (big shocker, I know!).
A random sampling of Christmas morning gift opening photos...it was a joy!
Logan mentioned a few days before Christmas that he asked Santa for "Switch and Go Dinos"...Santa delivered (even on short notice!).
Eden got snack cups (filled with Cherrios!)
Thanks Santa!
As expected, the baby liked the ribbons and wrapping the best of all!
Hugs after exchanging their personally chosen $1 gifts for eachother.
Dad spent a lot of time unwinding new toys and installing batteries.
New RC racers were a hit!
Lots of reading new stories!
A day of great snuggles!
We bundled up for a ride to Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls to see the Christmas lights! Another super fun tradition!
It was a big anniversary at Irvine Park this year and we think there were even more lights than normal. It was really fun to see!
