Christmas Eve...

I know this picture is blurry but I thought it looked kind of cool. We decided to go with colored Christmas lights this year, last year we did the white LEDs and our house looked like a runway strip! The full moon was so beautiful. It made me think of the star above Jesus' manger. If God can make a moon this bright, what did the star look like?!

Here is the same picture with the flash on, it looks much cooler with it off if you ask me!

'The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...' You can see Santa's plate...the boys decided to give Santa crackers instead of cookies, looks like Santa doesn't descriminate! All Chasey could say on Christmas morning was, "Santa drank the milk all gone?!" I think a part of him was hoping Santa would save a sip or two for Chasey!

There is something about Christmas Eve, everything looks more magical!

The note that Santa left for the boys...

Garland...

Sleepy boy

Colby's Christmas tree, it has the M&M lights on it. My mom was nice enough to give these lights to me, they are the same ones I would decorate my room with when I was little.

My other sleeping angel...

Chasey's Christmas tree...

Bauer came with me to check on the boys, what a great guard dog!

He also wanted his picture taken by the Christmas tree...

We had a very busy Christmas Eve, Jason worked all day and met us at home to drive up to Nonnie and Poppa's. There we had a blast, catching up with family we don't see often enough and eating AMAZING Italian food. We stopped by Jason's Grandpa's on our way home. It was wonderful to see that side of the family as well, they have such open hearts and are always happy to see us. I really thought I took pictures but haven't run across them yet. As soon as I do, I'll add them to this post!
