We had a wonderful Christmas at home just the five of us with the most glorious weather. Shelby & I started our Christmas Eve morning with a run, and I think it may have been the first time we've run together since leaving Alaska! It was such a wonderful start to our day! Then we went to the afternoon Christmas Eve service at church followed by cookie-making for Santa & our annual gift-giving from the kids!
{a perk to Christmas Eve on a sunny and 70 degree day is decorating cookies outdoors--we sure weren't doing this last year!!}
The kids so proudly passing out their gifts to each family member on Christmas Eve is one of my very favorite traditions--I love it so, so much.
Then Santa came, and Christmas Morning arrived! We told the kids they could come downstairs at 8:00. All three were up super early hanging out together and chomping at the bit to race down the stairs!
{After we opened our stockings, Brady immediately noticed that Santa left a new trampoline in our backyard & couldn't get outside fast enough!}
{trying out his new slingshot from Shelby!}
{the kids worked together that afternoon to add the net to their trampoline--they really enjoyed this project!}
So thankful for another year filled with Christmas memories celebrating the birth of our Savior!
