I baked up a bunch of gingerbread boys and shortbread tree, candy canes, stars, and bell. As a way of keeping the boys busy I set out colored frosting and let them go to work with Jon's supervision of course.
One of the three trays of the decorated deliciousness.
This year Jon found this advent calendar and it was perfect for our family because everyday we build something out of legos that creates a winter scene.
On Christmas eve we built this lego Santa and chimney.
While I was busy in the kitchen and Nathan was napping, Jon took the big boys down stairs and together they created this lego castle.
Later in the evening we went to Jon's parents for dinner, the nativity and Grandpa read the night before Christmas. This year Landon was Joseph and Kyler was a Wiseman.
Here is our cute little Shepard. Nathan is carrying Grandpa's cane as a crook. the best part to the cane is the horn and rear view mirror.
Afterwards,we returned home and the boys opened their new pajamas and hung up their stockings.
And of course before they could go to bed they had to set out milk and cookies, and carrots for the reindeer. Kyler was pretty concerned that Santa would get a tummy ache from eating so many cookies so he recommended we leave an apple instead. Very thoughtful I thought.
