Merry Christmas! What a wonderful day to celebrate the birth of our Savior. It was so nice and relaxing and we really enjoyed a quiet day celebrating.
We always enjoy Jesus' birthday cake, especially since we get to eat is as breakfast!
And of course, Santa did get our lists...
Aliyah picked out a "sweat pea" for daddy because he "likes pretty things":)
And all Max wanted to get daddy was a star wars ornament, thank you Hallmark!
These were the gifts they got for each other:)
Ugh Santa, a phone (with the "phone" not activated), but in all honesty it is nice not have "Monkey points" pop up on my phone while I'm at work:)
Grandma Melody made some adorable photo albums for the kids, this of course is Aliyah's favorite page:)
This is his "why aren't you opening this first" face...
Great Grandma Nancy makes the cutest things!
Mom-mom came over so we gave her all her gifts.
A yummy stuffed salmon dinner!
And then.... A light bulb went off in my head to solve the "our Christmas tree is SO beyond dead and has been for weeks but I can't fathom not having a tree till at least after new years" problem. We got out the old fake 3 footer we used to use when the kids were little, drug the dead one out to the porch and the kids had a BLAST decorating a second tree on Christmas day, which stayed up for quite some time by the way!
