Christmas Eve we had Dani's family over for dinner and some last minute Santa cookie making.
We read the Christmas story out of the bible while drinking monkey drinks 2 at a time to make sure he was in bed before Santa came.
We took a Christmas Eve family photo to document that there were four of us this Christmas season
 |
| As you can tell there were no perfect shots (just feet covered, crazed look shots and me in my grubby clothes) But we took the pictures none the less! |
The still warm cookies were left out with egg nog to help keep Santa's energy level up on his busiest night.
We all got to bed early and were awoken by a clean teethed Jack who had already made his bed at 6 am. We managed to roll ourselves out of bed. Will did not.
We busted quietly though the wrapping paper barracade Santa had left us
To see the splendor left below. Santa must have thought we were really good this year.

We started opening presents
 | ||
| Santa always brings Pez. I don't know why cause it's just gross. But year after year it finds its way into our stockings |
In true Jack style, he wanted me to open a present first
 | |
| Jack loves helping |
We didn't forget about Will Baby upstairs
 | |
| Thanks Aunt Sarah for getting William's stocking made in time for his first | Christmas! |
Finally awake!
Wait he's missing something
There. Much better.
Jack got his much hoped for Brady jersey in red.

| And felt compelled to make this face while striking this pose |
William got the marshmallows for our new smores' machine
 | |
| He seemed less then impressed |
Mom really wanted a nap
 | |
| (Maybe they won't see me if I lie in the wrapping paper and cover myself with my hands?) |
The guys keep going even though it looks like William is ready for a nap too
The aftermath
 | |
| Who on earth is going to clean up this mess? |

You guys totally put us to shame. I think we had 3 christmas pictures, and no baby to blame that incompetence on. ;)
I love how big Christmas is at your house. Do you let zack keep Christmas lights up all year round there like in Boston? :)
I LOVE the wrapping paper baricade. Santa is going to leave one of those at our house this year too. Genius. And, how for many years is it still acceptable to only have pictures of chaos and mom in grubby clothes? Because we're still there... :)
