Our Christmas Eve and Christmas Celebrations

Christmas Eve...a favorite day of mine

Before Christmas Eve service at church, we decorated Star Wars gingerbread and ninjabread cookies.




We attended an earlier Christmas Eve service for the first time, but we stuck with our after-church traditions of eating pizza, opening our ornament gifts, tracking Santa, and watching a Christmas movie. 
One of many, many Christmas books read this season
The cookies are out for Santa, and the boys are "ready" for bed. Just a little excited!

Christmas Day
Santa enjoyed our cookies and chocolate milk, as well as the note from Cole.

Thrilled about something in his stocking

Waiting for family to arrive
Trying out his new Anki Overdrive racetrack


Hot Wheels garage was #1 on Kieran's list.

Nana, Papa, and Grandma Pat arrive for another round of presents.







Back to the racetrack

Flying the Millennium Falcon Air Hog on the unseasonably mild Christmas Day

The day after Christmas, Aunt Shannon and Uncle Josh visited for the day.


Cole finished the WALL-E Lego from Nana and Papa.

The first weekend in January, we celebrated Christmas with Grammy.



Kieran creating with his Star Wars Play-Doh from Grammy and Grandpa

More Lego builiding

Either reading a book or looking at his phone (most likely)

As always, enjoyable Christmas celebrations with our family!
