Christmas #2 – Christmas morning

Starting another family tradition, which I had as a child growing up, we all went to church services on Christmas Eve night. The boys do very well in church & they were both (Wyatt especially!) so excited to get to sing “Away in a manger”. (Their little memories amaze me – they learned all 3 versus to that song from me singing it to them daily so quickly!!) Christmas is truly magical being able to see it through the eyes of my 2 two-year-olds – LOVE it!

We left milk & cookies out for Santa after coming home from church. They each got to pick a cookie to leave out for him. They put on their Christmas PJs (which we’ve been wearing since November) and went to bed.

The boys slept in pretty good Christmas morning (7 AM) but were really excited to see if Santa had visited. The first thing they noticed was the Curious George stuffy hanging out of the top of their stockings – they love Curious George books & were so excited, and ever since Colton has become inseparable from his “Georgie”! We unwrapped presents from Santa & each other as a family & took time to just sit & relax. The boys picked a couple toys – new drills & new truck/boat/trailer combos – to open up and play with. They received a bunch of new books (including a new Curious George one!), tools, a huge Mr. Potato Head set, Mickey Mouse socks (they don’t want to wear anything but these now!), Jake & the Pirates big boy underwear, PJs and clothes.

The boys had a blast playing with their new trucks & boat/trailer/4-wheeler for the rest of the morning.

Merry Christmas!
