Christmas 2018 and the Rest of December

Here's the rest of December and our Christmas! Celebrating Christmas with an enthusiastic, hard core Santa believer is quite possibly one of the most joyous ways to spend the season. Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2018 Christmas a fun one!

Christmas Eve shenanigans...


Handsome boy ready for the Christmas Eve service at church.




Max wanted to take a photo of us, too! A little (or a lot!) blurry, but we're centered!



This year our church had battery operated candles for the kids (and real candles for the adults) and it worked out really well!


Picking out snacks for Santa and the reindeer.




Santa came! (presents from Santa, Mom and Dad, and New England relatives)


Looks like Santa got comfy and read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" while he had his snack!


First peek! (at 5:00AM!)


Light sabers from Santa!



Darth Vadar "costume" (aka pajamas) from Santa!


Operation Game from Santa!


Last but not least, fun stocking treats from Santa. Max was excited to have gotten three things from his list!


Daddy reading his card and opening his gifts from Max...




"Hey, Mom! Take a picture of me with the dogs!" Haha  Don't Charlie and Lucy look thrilled?



Class book exchange on pajama day!


Reading to a therapy dog at the library!



Enjoying a "ninja bread" man!


Forgot to take a photo before we sampled a few...


Annual Chinese food dinner after church on Christmas Eve!






Trying out playing keyboard on his new keyboard stand!


Building projects with John!
