Christmas 2011

The Friday before Christmas the kids and I were all off of work/school/daycare. We got busy with some projects, including painting these "H" ornaments and making cards for Santa Claus.

Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year. We had a super busy day. We went shopping for gifts and a grocery gift card for a family in our church that is in need.

After that we decorated sugar cookies for Santa and dressed in our best and headed to the Christmas Eve service at our church. I love the family friendly service and so do the kids :)

We normally eat out and then drive around and look at lights. We decided to pick up Zhang's and head home instead.

After chowing down our favorite Chinese, we let the kids open one gift like always. They got fuzzy fleece blankets!

And we opened a family gift which we then played: Headbands!

Christmas morning, wearing their Christmas tree shirts and ready to open gifts!

After opening gifts we bummed for a few hours and played with the new toys. Then it was off to Grandma's house for a late lunch and vegging out :) We are so blessed to only live a half hour from her home.

Our theme this year was "H", the guys are playing with Jimmy's new "hacky sack"
