This Christmas was one of my favorite ones ever. It was a wonderful season and Christmas Day was just as good. Josh and I were up super late putting together a foosball table, but it was still amazing even though we were tired. Josh and I got up before the boys and lit candles and put on Christmas music like my mom always did when I was growing up. I love that tradition, it always makes it feel so special.
Each of the kids had their present from Santa next to their stocking. McKay hit the jackpot with Toy Story figurines.
The older three boys got skis.
Josh was pretty excited that the boys would finally be skiing this year. They also got season passes to Wolf Mountain.
The boys were pretty excited to see all of the gifts that Santa and mom and dad had brought.
The biggest gift was this fun foosball table. We have since spent hours playing foosball.
The only thing Josh wanted for Christmas was this beautiful picture.
I had a pretty great Christmas as well.
I love to see all of the hugs given on Christmas morning.
This was probably my favorite gift that we gave the boys. Aprons with their names on them and chef hats along with a cookbook. They are always asking me to teach them to cook, so we thought this would be a good start. They have since made us some seriously yummy food. Hunter wore his apron and hat around for a few days, which I thought was great. Now whenever we make anything they all run for their "chef stuff".
We had our traditional breakfast of sausage, homemade donuts, breakfast casserole, oj and hot chocolate, this year with homemade marshmallows, which are going to have to be a new tradition.
Later that day we went to my MIL's house for a fun dinner and more presents.
My cute MIL is always so good to us, they boys were pretty excited about the presents she gave them.
It truly was a wonderful Christmas!
