Christmas Eve & Day

Laura had one wish for her trip to our house - and that was to go to Chevy's. Totally understood. So we went to lunch on Christmas Eve. It was yummy and oh so fun to eat by their fire while it snowed outside. That was followed up by making our gingerbread and then resting and lounging and relaxing. But then we had to get certain preparations taken care of - like getting Santa's cookies made...

And reading the Christmas story while acting it out with our Little People Nativity set...
And after the kids were nestled all snug in their beds...

Us adults enjoyed a scrumptious fondue dinner...

After eating we spent a lot of long hours doing what adult/parents do the rest of Christmas Eve. And it was acutally very fun as we worked together.
And Christmas morning was... well it was everything it could have been.


And after opening our presents we had cinnamon rolls and eggs benedict (Laura family tradition) for breakfast and tackled all the toys one by one :)

mmmmm. .. fondue. I seriously dream of your fondue. I think I could have eaten the whole pot all by myself. I think I might have eaten half of it by myself. It looks like Christmas was dreamy. So glad it was so great!

Looks like you guys had an AWESOME Christmas!! Couple of comments:

1) Love Dylan's chocolate face. Looks like he has a goatee.

2) PJ's shirt is GREAT!! Love it. Where did you get it made?

3) Brynn has a slight plumber's crack thing going on in the nativity picture. :} Just thought I'd let you know.

4) Love Tyler's headlamp. He can be a serious fixer now. =)

5) I'm a little confused by your train. You had the whole GeoTrax train laid out - I'm assuming from Santa, but I could see at least part of that same train under the tree Christmas Eve. Just wondering about that.

6) I absolutely LOVE that last picture of Kate. Oh. My. Goodness. So cute!!

Looks like you guys had a great Christmas with PJ's family. Love all the traditions.
