Silent Night

Aside from Advent (which was beautiful this year by the way) we are so excited to start and continue our own traditions this year. It is the our first Christmas just us in our own home. On Christmas eve we opened one gift, PJ's! We put graham crackers out for Santa and the boys went to bed. They were so excited!I think Mom and Dad were even more excited because Mom just couldn't stay asleep!

Christmas morning we had breakfast in Mom and Dads room. A special treat.

Then we came out (tried to be one by one) to see what Santa brought.

The boys found their stockings.

Adam found a CTR ring in his.

Kyle went straight for the chocolate.

The big surprise gift was a new bunk bed! they were immediately excited to sleep on it, even before it was put together

Great Grandma and Grandpa Bassett came by to join in the festivities

All three boys loved their books.

 We took time with each gift and when the boys got curious for more we would move on. it was such a relaxing fun morning.

 Kyle tried out our new sleds inside but something was missing. We opened the blinds and saw snow! and a lot of it! What a great Christmas gift!

 Grandpa, Mom and Dad had fun pulling the boys around and Kyle and Grandma had fun watching from the window

Mom and Dad made quick work of putting the bed together and by snooze time it was ready. We talked about Jesus and why this was a special day. We are so grateful for the gifts that have been given to us from our Savior, and we hope the spirit of giving lasts throughout the year!
