Christmas Eve Festivities

We started Christmas Eve off right by going and getting donuts. The boys were so excited. Then after hanging out and playing at home we headed to an early dinner at On the Border. After grabbing some dinner we made some Ginger Bread (graham cracker) houses and did a quick simple craft before the elves dropped off the mix for Santa's cookies. After making cookies we chatted with Grandpa and GiGi and we got to watch Grandpa send the boys letters up the chimney to Santa's workshop. It was a pretty exciting night. The boys loved watching the letters goes shooting up the chimney and being able to eat one of Santa's cookies when they were done. It was a very successful Christmas Eve and I think we all had a fun time together. 

 Brandon said that I won our contest! :-) haha 

 Ethan didn't want to put cotton balls on his Santa...

Wyatt decided to he wanted them all. haha Its a new game.. where is Santa? haha 

What a fun day we had and the boys were so excited for Christmas morning to come and to see what Santa would bring them.

Then to end the night off the boys opened their first Christmas present.

 Wyatt was pretty excited about his Captain America ornament. He always goes back and forth with what super hero is his favorite. However, Captain America has been the one that he has liked by far the most. The other ones he will pretend to be every once in a while, but, Captain America is who he wants to be about 90% of the time! :-)

Ethan was so funny. He opened his ornament up and was all, "awww..." haha so I guess he really liked his ornament of a school but with his picture in it. :-)

Then as a special treat Ethan gave Daddy and I his present he made for us at school.

What a cutie pie!! :-)
Our very first ornament made by one of our kids! Pretty fun if you ask me!

Well after that the kids were off to bed to dream of sugar plums... or just all the presents they were going to get in the morning!
While Brandon and I enjoyed watching Miracle on 34th St. and getting the rest of our Christmas stuff ready before we headed off to bed to let Santa come to town! :-)
