I love seeing the cute homemade gifts the boys bring home from school for us. I opened them on Christmas Eve because they insisted. So sweet...
One of my favorite traditions: The boys draw names and go shopping for a gift for each other (usually the FHE before Christmas). They get to open the gift from their brother the morning of Christmas Eve. This has been a win-win for everyone! They have something new to play with and pass the time. I am able to spend the morning cooking in the kitchen while daddy usually works a half day. It's perfect!
After a delicious Christmas Eve feast at Jason and Amelia's house (some neighbors came too)... It was time to open Christmas pjs! Let the chaos ensue...
We then rounded up the troops to act out our annual puppet nativity and sing a few Christmas carols. Of course there was wrestling afterwards.
The kids were tucked in bed around 8:30pm. It appears that Santa came sometime during the night... complete with gifts and a letter just for us!
