Christmas Day

I'm really enjoying reliving Christmas again. 

Do they look excited or what? 




The picture of Zoe is her finding some panties in her stocking. She was totally embarrassed and went upstairs to but them in her drawer. Maeley loves her fake glasses. 

To say Chase was thrilled to get the Star Wars movie was an understatement. 













The aftermath 










We spent some time in the afternoon at the park. 




It was another wonderful Christmas.  I'm always sad when Christmas is over.

Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve! The kids anticipation is through the roof and they are so happy. In the morning the kids got to exchange gifts from each other.

Maeley got Grace's dog from Chase. 

Zoe got a Beanie Boo fox from Maeley.


And Chase got a light sabber from Zoe. 

They were all thrilled with what they got. More importantly they have so much fun thinking about what to give and watching the excitement as the gift was opened.

Then we headed to my sisters house from brunch. We did a white elephant gift exchange and Maeley got a selfie stick. She enjoyed taking my phone and Laurel's and taking pictures. If she didn't I wouldn't have any pictures of that morning.

Family brunch according to Maeley.

Christmas Eve brunch is the best. Always so much yummy food.  Thanks Laurel! 


The advent calendar is very important to them. A few years ago Laurel, my mom and I made replicas of the one we had growing up.







For dinner we went to Derek's parents house. It was delicious and we watched a great video. Maeley didn't bring her selfie stick so no pictures were taken.

Our Christmas jammies! The kids love this tradition as much as me!






The girls love having matching jammies with their dolls. 

Chase and I have the same bottoms that I bought in the boy department at Target. They are my favorite. They are so comfy! I think Chase liked matching mom and dad.


After the cookies, milk and carrots were set out the kids were off to bed.
