Christmas 2014

We had a fun time in anticipation of Christmas this year. Maci and Levi  both bought home paper rings from school as count down and we had been doing an Advent count down and Bible stories with that each night too. We went out to tour Christmas lights on a couple of different nights and they got so excited looking at all the different colors and set ups. The kids go back and forth on whether Santa is real or not and it's fun to keep them guessing. We made cookies and put out reindeer food on Christmas Eve . Tradition as of the last couple of years is to eat pizza and watch Polar Express in our sleeping bags by the tree on Christmas Eve too. The kids get so excited for this! It is fun to see their excitement hopefully this lasts for a while.  We opened presents a little early because of me having to work on Christmas but we told the kids Santa comes early to houses where mom's and dad's have to work on Christmas. They did not seem to care. :) We had a fun morning eating our Christmas breakfast and just staying in our pjs, and playing all day with the toys the kids got. We were all kind of bummed though because we didn't have a white Christmas, not even a snow flake fell. Christmas break has been a little different with no snow to play in with Dada.
