Christmas fun!

In case you were confused the last few days, yes, I am THAT far behind!  Here's our Christmas post.

We drove up to Sacramento for Christmas again this year.  We stayed with my mom and things worked out well with the accommodations, since we wore the boys out most days and they would wind down fairly quickly at night, sleeping in the same room.

I bought the boys gingerbread man kits this year, but alas, didn't read the label.  So, Jonathan ended up not being able to eat his, but we made up for it with some ginger cookies my mom had on hand.

Matt tried to act like he wasn't having fun, but even with his head tilted down, there's a glimpse of a smile!

He was pretty excited about his finished product.

Jonathan saved most of his decorations for his ginger cookies he was able to eat (since they had no traces of nuts!).  

As is the family tradition, we all packed in the car and headed over to the Fox's house for Christmas Eve.  Cousins from each side of the family were there.  As usual, Kathy had a crafty idea to occupy and entertain the kids for a bit.

Jonathan wasn't too keen on wearing a t-shirt to protect his sweater, but he was all about frosting an ice cream cone!

After dinner, it was time for the gift giving portion of the evening!

Kathy offered the boys some cookies and ice cream.  Think they were excited?

 

Christmas morning at my moms, and the boys had some new hexbug entertainment!  They were very excited to break in their new toys.

One more stop in the gift giving/family visits on Christmas night.  We stopped off at my Aunt Trudy's house for some dinner and a little more gift giving.  I think the boys were beyond tired at this point!
