We were sad this year because we had to miss our Christmas celebration with Jon's family. Connor had crup and we felt it was better to keep our kids away from him. So, Jon went down to visit for a few days while the kids and I stayed home. I HATED missing Connor and Ashlyn's first Christmas together but sometimes life just doesn't work out the way you want it to. Jon was able to make it to the family Christmas party Sat. morning before driving back for the Christmas Eve Service...
Caiden our Shephard in the Christmas Eve Service!
Getting Ready! Reindeer Food, Cookies & Milk, and The Night Before Christmas!
Presents and Santa's Drop-off!
And then there was the 5 hour celebration!
It all started with Caiden being barricaded in his room by Elfie (see Elfie post!) Bebe and Poppy made it over just in time for Caiden to break out and see what Santa brought him. He LOVED his art table and everything else that had to do with opening presents that morning! Ashlyn was clueless but had fun with everyone over at the house and even managed to get in her morning nap while the presents were being passed out (yes, it took that long!) The 24 hours PJ wardrobe, constant snacking, spoiling from TT & Seand, and noise of giggling kiddos made it a day of pure happiness!
