Merry Christmas EVE!

A few more of our personal decorations this year. This snowman had three buttons but some little munchkin tore them off EVERYday until they were gone.  Andrew made this string of lights at school, and our signature tree. If you came into our apartment while this was up, you had to sign it. I have no idea where that idea came from!?!

We Facetimed with Tracy and the kids so the cousins could open gifts "together." It was cute.

                                             Even Julian wanted to be a part of it.

Our friends the Peters joined us for Christmas Eve dinner. Both our families had been sick so we "fingers crossed" our dinner that no one would get sick.

We also continued our NY Christmas and ordered pizza and pasta for dinner! Who needs a Christmas ham?!

Ryan got a busted lip halfway through the night by hitting the wall. Andrew is just too cool for school.

We let the kids open from each other and they were some of my favorite exchanges. Andrew and Ryan really put thought into what they wanted to get the other. Andrew got Ryan a Power Ranger costume and Ryan got Andrew a lynx animal. It was so sweet.

                                                         The babies first Christmas!!

Leaving carrots and cookies. And water. Andrew said Santa may want some water instead of milk.

The reading and roughhousing of "The Night Before Christmas." Julian was a little too tired but participated in a few minutes.
