Christmas eve day Grandma and Grandpa Schraft came over and we all had lunch and got to visit. Papa Buzz got to meet our little noah. The kids and papa buzz had fun scaring each other. I made sugar cookies and Grandma played the piano and we sang Christmas carols. So great bringing back that we get to spend Christmas eve with them, which has not happened in 8+ years.
We got our Christmas eve pajamas and dad read us the book I believe in Santa Claus. It is a great book that talks about Christ and Santa, a newer tradition that we love. After that we watched A Christmas Story, another fun tradition. Christmas morning, so many memories! It is so much fun watching the kids excitement. Emma came in and woke us up and was doing the cutest dance telling us how many presents Santa brought under the tree. Benjamin got transformers that he builds, walkie talkies and Dusty from the movie Planes. He puts wings on his arms and then that controls Dusty airplane on the ground. It is the funnest toy. Emma got stuffed animals from her favorite shows, doc mcstuffins and Frozen's Elsa and Anna. She also got a monkey that giggles, makes noises, has a bottle, etc it is a very cute little monkey and she loves being a mommy. My mom got us a hard drive with 600+ movies and tv shows downloaded on it! We don't even know what to watch. Jake got me a camera that I got early :) Dad and Jake got this game called kendama and were addicted to it the rest of the trip. We were all spoiled with lots more fun! The best part was just being with family and having fun hanging out. We watched movies and played games all day. I sure love Christmas and everything about it especially traditions new and old.
The day after Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Jardine came. We had more food, presents and laughs. They are so fun, the kids all love playing with them. Uncle Tuff and Sandy came and Uncle Larry, Nina and Joel came to dinner and we celebrated Grandma and Grandpa's Birthdays. Friday I got everyone's hair done and we played games that night and each kid ended up with a bag full of dimes from Grandpa :)
