Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve seemed to rush upon me so quickly this year. I remember feeling so sad that I didn't have more time before the "big" day. I wish Christmas time was so much longer. I love all of it. I enjoy gifting. I like baking with my big boys and now my wee boy. Nothing is better than a hot coffee while snug in the jeep with my men, the heater on, and driving around looking at lights. Christmas music...I am one of those that could listen to Bing Crosby all year long.


We always give our boys Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve. I did a little "hip-hip-hooray" with Noey before I handed him his present. The big boys helped to excite him over that gift, too.











I love that he hugged his jammies. He loved his present. :)





Noey set a cookie out for Santa. Well, first he tried to dip it and eat it. Silly baby.








Remy set out carrots for the reindeer.





Elijah poured the milk. :)





All ready for Santa!





All clean and jammied!





After the boys were in bed I finished up the red velvet cake.





Matthew and I wrapped presents. I love how the baby toys are so big and make the tree look so full. I had missed that. :)





Santa even stopped by. ;)





I always find is so hard to sleep when I finally get to bed. :)

Christmas Eve

We had a very sweet and snuggly Christmas Eve together. :) Matthew rushed home as soon as he was off of work and the boys opened Christmas Jammies!

We then made Christmas Cookies!

Yes, Remy is a silly nut head!

While the cookies baked daddy helped the boys to make some last minute Christmas art work to decorate with. :) They loved this so much. Remy came up to me and told me that he just felt so happy with daddy helping him with art. He feels so deeply, just like me. :) It is either all or nothing with him. :) His little heart was just so filled up with the moment. :)

Remy made these:

Remy's bell is on the left and Eli's in on the right.

Elijah made these:

I love how he came up with the idea of "gold-tipping" the wings. :) So much like his daddy. :)

Before bed they wrapped the presents they got Matthew and I. They also wrapped the gifts they got each other. :)

They finished off the night with a cookie and veggie tray for Santa and the reindeer! :)

It was the first year that they just both crashed right away. They said they couldn't wait and so off to bed they went. :)

I can't believe it is all over. *sigh*
