One night last week, we went to a holiday party where Santa arrived to deliver an early present. Nate got a lego boat and Alex got a Panthers jersey. Alex wanted to sleep in that thing multiple days.
Christmas Eve we let the boys pick 3 presents to open. One boy was VERY cooperative for photos and one was not.
Obligatory shot under the Christmas tree. Yes, this was the best one.
Guess who was cooperative again?
We also continued the tradition of baking cookies for Santa and leaving out reindeer food. We also tracked Santa's activity on NORAD and got to see Santa deliver presents to London!
Christmas morning the boys SLEPT IN. Jon and I woke up early, anticipating an early morning. Elfie covered the boys' doors with crepe paper to make sure no one snuck out early!
We told the boys we would all go downstairs together. Nate ran down the stairs, ran to the tree, and ripped open a present screaming "SANTA BROUGHT MY REMOTE CONTROL CAR!" before Jon and I even realized what was happening. Christmas is the freaking BEST as a kid.
And all Alex wanted was a football.
We had a very blessed Christmas with some beautiful warm weather.
Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to ice skate with the kids!

Looks like such fun! Are the boys actually wearing matching pjs?! Love!
Merry Christmas! Love seeing the excitement in Alex's face.
I *love* the crepe paper. So awesome. Glad you guys had a lovely Christmas!
So. Much. CUTE! I love it! I'm so glad you had such a fun Christmas. Those pictures of Alex are awesome, and it just sort of makes me giggle how much Nate did NOT want to be in them. :-)
Umm, Alex's smile makes me want to do a happy dance. It's just so darn cute!
Merry Christmas to all of you! Can't wait to see what adventures you all have in the New Year!
I think I am also turning into a Panthers fan. Watching the game last week was fun! It's nice to have a good QB for a change :-) I'm waiting for the season to be over to get Cameron some discounted gear. I agree that Christmas is the best as a kid. Cameron kept gasping in awe as she opened each present. Too cute!
