This year Christmas happened a little different in our house. Jon had to work on Christmas Day. He was the one manager on duty that day and no matter what we tried, he wasn't getting off. So he requested Christmas Eve off instead. When we got home from church on Sunday the 23rd, there was a letter and some candy canes from Santa, sitting on the fireplace. The letter stated that since Jon had to work 'Santa' would visit our house early so that we could celebrate all together on the 24th. That meant that the 23rd ended up being a little frantic/ crazy. We had to make sure everything was picked up, wrap the last of the presents, bake cookies for Santa, etc. But we did make it all in time.
Before all the excitement/ mess began
The boys all slept in the little boys' room. We simply brought Landon's mattress in their room. Here they are getting ready to go to sleep in there new pajamas of course.
We had finished reading Luke 2 and the boys were sitting on our bed waiting for the okay from Dad to enter the living room.
Nathan's fish game.
I got a wall hanging photo frame jewelry box... ( and jewelry to go in it). My favorite is a ring that Jon got me that has all my kids names and their birth stones on it.
