Christmas At Home!!

On Christmas Eve, we spent the day making Christmas cookies and caramel corn, then went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Great day at home with the family!

Casen and Collins love to help in the kitchen

Making Christmas cookies just isn't complete until you're covered in flour! ;)

They had just as much fun icing the cookies (and licking the icing from every fingertip!)

It was the night before Christmas, and excited they went, 

these two little munchkins snuggled up in their tent.

This year we didn't have any family in town, so it was just the five of us for Christmas day. 

Okay, we love our families and no offense guys, but... IT WAS AWESOME!!! We didn't have to tear toys away from the kids so we could be anywhere at any certain time. We took our time eating, opening presents, and playing. It was so relaxing and fun - I think we may just have to make that a Christmas tradition.

Opening stockings on Christmas morning...

Casen loves to sword fight like Prince Phillip, Jake, or Peter Pan. His old sword was getting a little beat up, so he got a new one.

Casen excited to open Jake undies from Baa and Bampa.

Little diva :) She wanted to wear her new hairbow and sunglasses all morning!

Uncle Mike and Aunt Caitlin got Casen a soccer/hockey/lacross goal. He was SO excited!!

Play cookies from Aunt Suzy and Uncle Stu - so fun!

Play fruit from Uncle Stu and Aunt Suzy. The pieces are attached to each other by velcro. The kids LOVE using the play knife to cut them apart.

Case hard at work on his tool bench.

Peek-a-boo! Miller playing in the tent.

We got the kids an outdoor playset for Christmas. We actually built it in November so they could take advantage of the nicer weather, but we got a few accessories for them to unwrap on Christmas morning.

Collins is maning the ship's wheel while Case keeps an eye out for pirates. They're so cute!

Miller loving the leaves.

Casen practicing his lacross skills with his new goal.

This video is so funny!! My dad's bday is Dec 27th and we sent him some videos. This is Miller's birthday dance for Bampa - so cute!!
