Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!

We have had a whirlwind holiday weekend here and we have loved every second!  We got to spend most of Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my parents as well as some time with Greg, Amanda, Isaiah and Brielle and we so enjoyed being with family.

Christmas Eve we got to hang out and open some presents (we didn't want to overload Crosby with ALL the gifts in one day!), have lots of play time with Grammie and Papa, and finish our advent calendars (chocolate and non) before heading to Christmas Eve service.  Afterwards the whole family came over for Mexican food and dessert before we started our traditions.  Drew read the boys "The Night Before Christmas", we wrote a note to Santa and left out cookies and milk, and then we tucked the little ones to bed in their new Christmas jammies.

Crosby woke up on Christmas and didn't really remember what the day was, he first got in bed with Drew and watched Chuggington while I finished showering and he asked me if I wanted to lay down too, I replied, "Well, I thought maybe we'd go out and open presents, what do you think?" and boy oh boy did his eyes get big!  He was an excellent gift opener, and very kindly opened Jack's presents for him too!  Crosby's favorite gift by far was the garbage truck and trash cans that Santa left him.  I have a feeling I'm going to be finding small pieces of trash around the house for months!

 

  

 

After we opened all of our gifts at home we headed over to Grammie and Papa's for more presents, playing and lots of yummy food!  It was such a great holiday, and so much fun to spend with Crosby now that he is old enough to really get into books, music, activities and movies about the season.  We took down the tree today and Crosby kept asking, "Why is the tree going away?"  "Will Christmas come back again?"  I have a feeling this boy is going to go through some holiday withdrawals!
