Christmas Eve started with breakfast at Chick-fil-A. We had to use some breakfast coupons we received in July! Then we went to the Dollar Store to get candy to make graham cracker houses. I hot glued the graham crackers together and let the boys decorate. They surprisingly turned out pretty good!
While we were decorating our houses, we looked outside and noticed SNOW!! It was snowing on Christmas Eve!! Tommy started running around outside yelling, "Snow! Snow! Let it Snow!!!" He was super excited. After about 5 minutes, it turned into rain, but he still thought it was snowing:)
We had broccoli cheese soup in bread bowls for dinner. The boys ate it without complaining (Tommy even had 3 helpings!). I told them it was an early Christmas present for me! We tried to have some caroling and Nativity story and traditional Christmas Eve stuff, but the boys were beyond excited. They got to open these new jammies. We left cookies and egg nog for Santa then headed off to bed.
The boys were sooooo excited to see if Santa came. Tommy even said, "I can't believe Santa actually came!!" He brought them new scooters and 2 games, plus candy and little boxes of cereal and hot wheels cars in their stockings. After breakfast we opened the gifts under the tree. The BEST reaction was when Tommy opened his new Scooby-doo underwear from me. He was so excited!! We filmed it too!!!! Awesome.
Barrett took the boys outside to ride their new scooters. It was sunny, but super cold and windy! While they were out there, our sweet neighbor pulled out some gifts. The boys got this huge hot wheels structure (which ended up needing batteries we had to buy the next day) and Hannah got a new church dress. We had a wonderful, tasty dinner of ham, funeral potatoes, green beans, and jello pretzel salad. We had a great Christmas but missed family and friends.
