We enjoyed the Christmas Eve service at church and then had a pretty low-key Christmas Day at home, just the four of us. That evening we went to another family's house for dessert, which was also a lot of fun. Our Christmas morning traditions: When the boys wake up, they go looking for the baby Jesus figurine to put in the nativity scene. Then we read the Christmas story from Luke 2 and pray, then open stockings, then eat breakfast, and then open the "tree presents." We open the tree presents one at a time, taking turns.
The boys enjoyed baking cookies with me on Christmas Eve. It was the first time in years I had actually made cut-out cookies, so of course it was the boys' first time ever to make them. And they LOVED it. Will kept exclaiming things like, "This is so fun! Making cookies is so cool! This is such a fun thing to do!" I guess we'll have to do it again. :)
And Christmas morning, putting baby Jesus in the nativity scene and then enjoying and showing off some of their presents:
Christmas was extended since the package from my older sister and her family was delayed in the mail. The boys had a lot of fun with gifts from their cousins.
