All Things Christmas

We had a fast, whirlwind of a Christmas.  With Nanny's passing on Christmas Eve we managed to host three Christmases at our house in two days before heading to Nebraska. 

I usually take tons of pictures but didn't get around to that this year.

Santa visited Mimi's house and brought them these headlights.  Blinding fun!
 For Uncle Jason's facebook page!! ;)

Santa left underwear in Josh's stocking.  Connor said "Daddy must've been in between the nice and naughty list."  Santa didn't leave anything for me in my stocking so Connor reminds me that I must've been naughty!
 The boys and Papa Jud loooooove Whataburger so now they all have W shirts to wear!

 Uncle Jason gave the boys shirts that say, "What does the Bear say?"
 He also gave them the book, "What Does the Fox Say?"
 You might notice a dot on Connor's forehead.  A couple of days before Christmas he was putting his seat belt on in the back of the Tahoe.  The other seat was up and when he leaned over, the sharp metal cut him. It was bleeding and immediately started swelling.  Poor guy :(

 Uncle Cannon gave them this fun Batman cave.
 Connor was an elf handing out presents.  We try to open gifts one at a time so everyone can see what everyone else gets. 
Once again we participated in our church's live nativity show.  The boys have so much fun doing it each year.
 They were shepherds and I was an angel.

 After their performance, they got to pet the animals from the show.

 The flash was bright so their eyes are squinty.

 Connor drew and cut out a mustache and beard to look like Santa.
 Reid got to sit on Santa's lap!
 Cog, our elf on the shelf, took down the stockings and hung up our underwear instead!!
 He enjoyed zip lining just like Connor and Reid like to zip line!
 At the Christmas Eve service at church, we were "wise ones" during the service.

 
 There was a show on tv this Christmas called "Light Fight"on abc. One of the finalists is located here in Cedar Park.  So the boys put on their pj's and we walked around looking at everything.




 Santa was there!!! Connor asked him how he could be there on Christmas Eve when he was supposed to be delivering toys.  Santa quickly replied that he was taking a break and his reindeer were very quick!
 We also drove to Austin last month for the Trail of Lights. It was very pretty but super crowded!

 The boys were troopers but took turns riding on Daddy's shoulders.








 And my favorite Christmas picture of all. I love my little family!
