Christmas Eve 2011

This was our first year celebrating Christmas all by ourselves.  It was kind of weird at first since we have literally had Christmas with either one of our families since we got married, but it was fun to start some traditions of our own!  

On Christmas eve we decorated our cookies for Santa

And then took a walk around our neighborhood and looked at all the lights.  I must say I love the Florida winters!

Then we came home and we all opened up new jammies

And attempted a brothers picture :)

The boys hung up their Christmas ornaments they picked out for this year on the tree

And opened another surprise....pillow pets!

BB named his penguin slippery and Ty named his turtle speedy.

Then we took 5 million pictures in front of our tree in our jammies :)

The boys loved taking Silly pictures. Those were the only ones Ty would cooperate for!

Our pajamas ended up being too hot for FL so we had to turn on our a/c for a bit so we could actually wear them! It was pretty funny!

Aw, I love this reindeer bum!

We read the polar express and Twas the night before Christmas

And acted out the nativity.
We were glad to have a real baby Jesus this year :)

We made sure to feed the reindeer our reindeer food that we made (oats and glitter)

And left out our cookies for Santa. Brayden insisted on leaving him chocolate milk this year because he knew Santa would love it and he thinks Santa probably gets sick of drinking white milk all night. Haha, so true BB!  And then we sent 2 very excited boys off to bed to "try" to go to sleep so Santa would come :)  It was a perfect Christmas eve in my book!
