{Christmas Eve.Christmas}

not a [white] Christmas this year in Utah.
how about 30 deg. & suuunny.
i sort.of loved it.
Nate & Cayden
not so much.
they love going skiing
it is their annual dad+son outing.


i love the holiday season.
so much excitement...
 even with [tongues] sticking out

lots of "going to grandma's" we played
plus checkers..
that Garrett loooved to cheat on. Ha!!
**being a 4 year old**
that means being way [cool]

& we had lots&lots of smiles from
this one
& the little bug loved having cuddle time
with Grandpa


We went to Temple Square to see the lights
& after went to JB's to have
hot cocoa!

on Christmas Eve it is
 our tradition to
do our Gingerbread house &
make cookies with
grandma
to leave for
SaNtA
my mom loves doing
this with the kids
i love how my mom gets way into it too!

cookies for Santa
& snacks for the
Reindeer
& the notes for Santa.......
"and to all a good-night".

The kids woke up early, happy and excited!
We opened Santa presents.
 then we had breakfast..
after that we had fun opening
the rest of the gifts..
& enjoyed our day so much
spending time as a family!
i loved these last pictures
of these two....

Merry Christmas
