Christmas 2015

We were happy to spend Christmas Eve and Day this year at home.  On Christmas Eve, Eric took the boys to the mall to get their photo with the Bass Pro Santa.  They waited in line for an hour but the cute pic was definitely worth it.  My parents arrived that morning and we met the boys for lunch and a quick trip to Dave & Busters.  We skipped Lincoln's nap and attended Christmas Eve service at our church at 3:00.  After church we decorated a gingerbread house and gingerbread cookies.  We did an easy dinner and then let the boys open their Christmas Eve gifts.  We watched a little of the Polar Express before putting out the milk and cookies for Santa.  This was Lincoln's first year helping Hayden put out the goodies.  He decided to drink some of the milk and eat a couple of the reindeer's carrots but we talked him out of the cookies.  :)  Christmas morning, Hayden was up at 5:30 so I laid with him until 6:30 when he just couldn't wait any longer.  He was excited to come down the stairs and see what Santa had left.  We started with his stocking and then waited until 8:00 to get Lincoln in on the action.  The boys were very excited about all their gifts.  Some were from Santa and some were from out of town family.  We saved their big gift from us until last.  It was a wonderful Christmas 2015!  Here are some pics from the two days....
