On Christmas Eve, Sam & I played some tennis, we took the kids on a walk, T rode his scooter.. (the weather was so nice! The kids have been asking for popsicles on our walks lately! ha!) and they got to open a few presents. Thanks to Sam's parents for the jammies and cool flashlights for the kids!!








We had some good friends over for dinner. (Sam & Erik grew up practically next door to each other, so we've known them for a long time. We're so glad the Peterson's live here too!) Sam made a delicious ham and we decorated cookies for Santa.




Christmas morning Sam woke up at 5am to make his traditional delicious cinnamon rolls. (big thanks to Becki, he's used her secret recipe for 3 years in a row)


A few pictures of Christmas morning around our house.
Our kids are at such fun ages for Christmas. I knew T would be into it, but Maizie surprised us and was just as into it as he was. haha. It was such a fun morning.






















All T really wanted was a new "little key." (We lost his a few months ago) We're pretty surprised how into it he is. We weren't expecting him to love it like he loved his old smelly, ratty one. He still favors his big key but he's giving his new blanky a chance.


We missed our families this year, but boy we are so blessed to be here with a good job and healthy, happy kids. We hope everyone had a happy Christmas.
