We had a WONDERFUL Christmas! Everything was simple and relaxing. This is the first year that our boys really understood what was going on, and were excited about Christmas and Santa. The boys decorated cookies for Santa's cookie plate. We went out for some yummy mexican dinner. We watched lots of movies. Pete told the boys that on Christmas Eve night they would be able to open up one gift. Clifford kept hoping he'd get to open a toy, but of course Pete and I knew exactly which gift they'd get to open: their new set of pajamas with slippers. We tucked the boys in at their normal bedtime and waited impatiently for them to fall into a deep sleep before 'Santa' set out their gifts. Before Pete and I went to bed ourselves, we made bets at what time we thought the boys would wake up. I said 3am (like last year) and Pete said 7am. The boys woke us up at 3:45am, excited as could be! All of us really liked every gift we received, with only one gift having to be returned for a bigger size. We had a delicious breakfast, help build legos with the boys, and took naps. We ended our Christmas with a fantastic diner. This was such a wonderful Christmas and I'm so grateful for everything. Most of all, I'm grateful for Pete and my boys!
Starting Christmas Eve with some homemade cinnamon rolls! This was the first time I ever made these from scratch. They turned out delicious. Even Pete said they were the best he ever had! Best compliment ever!
