We spent Christmas Eve day with my parents and family. The kids colored some pictures and made goodies that we dropped off at nursing home in the morning and then we headed to grandpa and grandma's house to have lunch, open gifts, and just hang out and play. It was a very rainy day, but the boys slipped outside for a quick game of hockey with their new sticks and nets. We went to the Christmas Eve service at church that evening. It was a beautiful service and then we hung out for a while after and the boys did a couple crafts, saw the animals and live nativity set, and we went on a horse and carriage ride. Off to home we went to get Santa's cookie ready, reindeer food sprinkled (we poured enough sparkly oatmeal in our front yard this year to feed 100 reindeer), and cozy Christmas PJ's on. The boys were so excited this year about all the little things. We are really trying to treasure these times with them, because we know as they get older the excitement level changes and sprinkling reindeer food in the front yard for the 10th time of the season is no longer on the list of things to do.
