Christmas 2014

Christmas Eve we had a lot of preparations we had to do in order to get ready for Santa! We made sugar cookies for Santa and cut up apples and carrots for his reindeer. James got the do the cutting for the first time this year, which made him officially a big boy in his eyes.

 

Every year Nana gets the kids Christmas PJs, so they opened them up on Christmas Eve and she got to watch via Skype.

We had our Christmas Eve picnic under the tree!

And played silly games!

Our neighbors came over for a little bit to say Merry Christmas and let the kids play :)

 

 

James was pretty good about going to sleep this year, thanksfully we were able to put all the presents out by 930 and we were all asleep by 10 - because we knew it would be a busy Christmas day!



 

James was so excited to see that Santa wrote him a letter back.



 



Christmas night we went to our friends house for dinner (well we ordered Chinese!). It was really a perfect relaxed Christmas. The kids had a magical day and we loved every minute of it. However, I think it will takes us months to recover - Christmas is exhausting!
