Eli Fishing.

Emma taking her turn at the "fishing pond". This is a favorite Christmas Eve activity of all the grand kids.

Ethan played Jingle Bells and Up on the Housetop at our Christmas Eve get together.

It's hard to believe Christmas has already come and gone. We had a fun filled December. Our favorite Christmas tradition is doing the 12 days of Christmas to a different family each year. We leave a present at their door each night and a poem that goes along with the song. We love being sneaky and try our best not to get caught! The kids have a blast and it's always so fun to reveal ourselves at the last day!

Our first week off of school was busy. We spent lots of time baking and making treats, finishing Christmas projects, watching Christmas movies and seeing Christmas lights. On Christmas Eve, we headed to Gram's house for our Mexico food feast. We had a fun night with Jeremy's family.

Christmas day was very exciting this year. Santa brought us two new puppies! This is our first real pet (other than fish and the stray cats we feed) Everyone was so excited! We spent an hour playing with them before we even got to the rest of the presents. I love seeing how happy the kids are. We were hoping to have a little more time to think of names, but it looks like Scratch and Maisy have stuck! We had a great day with our family and enjoyed staying home and relaxing together. What an amazing Christmas we had this year.
