Christmas feels like so long ago. I am so behind, but hopefully I can get caught up over the next few weeks. We did our traditional Christmas eve Pj's and it was a plaid, button-up kind of year. The boys had been asking for button up pj's and they love these. With Christmas being on a Sunday, we had thought things would be super crazy because we have certain traditions that help make Christmas an all day affair. We did have to rush a bit at the end of opening the wrapped gifts, but we were able to do all of our normal fun things.
The boys snuggled until 6:45 and then we went and woke up Grey and Lily. We let the kids open stockings and play with Santa gifts and then we did our traditional crepe breakfast. We all somehow got spoiled this year, thanks to grandparent money. They are always too kind.
It was a wonderful program at church and we were asked to dinner by our old bishop, Brother Littlejohn, in the ward. It was great to have grandparent-like people that the kids could be around.
This year was mainly a sports themed year. The boys all asked for uniforms. They got football and soccer stuff. I think Landon's favorite gifts were his new football jerseys and his soccer sweat pants (think hammer pants). Cohen's favorite was the new video games, and his new "real" football helmet (go Ducks!)
Greyson loved all his new soccer unis, and football jerseys, but his favorite was the motorcycle helmet and his monster truck.
Lillian got her first tea party set and several dolls. She also got some really cute new outfits from her daddy.
I got spoiled with new church outfits and best of all new framed pictures of the kids and family. Steve spoiled me so much and I can always feel how much he loves me. His love language is definitely gifts!
It was a year full of gratitude and the kids were amazing through it all. They never fail to be overly thankful for all they receive and make it all worth the sacrifices we make for them in the end.
