New Years Weekend

Over New Years Weekend, we headed up to Kansas. We were able to visit with a lot of family.

 I am so mad, but I hardly took any pictures.

We took our trailer to bring back a red dresser from Gpa and Gma Hoesli. We put it in Eli's room and it looks so good!



We left super early and when we stopped for lunch, we were almost there. We ate at Freddy's and it was super good.

 

The boys loved playing and soaking up all the attention from all of our family!

Christmas Eve

We had a pretty lazy day on Christmas Eve.
My mom baked with the boys and we played some games. We got my parents hooked on Sequence, so we played that a lot during their visit.

The boys were singing at church on Christmas Eve, so I had them practice their song (Away in a Manger) 2 or so times.
 

 My parents took a few family pictures of us.


Side note, Crocker gave himself a black eye with a cut on Christmas Eve Eve. My parents gave him a spiderman toy and he threw it up in the air and obviously didn't catch it.


The boys looked so cute singing and they did a great job!
We lit candles at the end of the service and Crocker looked so so sweet.
After church, the boys were down getting their pj's on and we heard jingle bells upstairs. Sheldon and I snuck them up the stairs and we saw Santa putting their presents out. We had a couple of very excited boys on our hands Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve Eve

We opened presents from my mom and dad on Christmas Eve Eve.

The boys received scooters which the have loved! They have been riding the heck out of those things.



Sheldon got a replica of Uncle Si's tea glass from the show Duck Dynasty. It is his favorite show and he was so so thrilled!

 

Later that night, the boys opened a pair of Christmas pj's.




Then, Santa showed up to make sure their Christmas lists were correct. The boys were super thrilled and Eli was fascinated with him.

They all loved seeing Santa and hopped right up on his lap.

Christmas Visit

We had such a nice Christmas.

My parents came into town to spend the holiday with us and we had a great time. We didn't tell the boys they were coming, so they were so surprised and excited when they walked through the door.

We played games, opened presents, cooked, and just enjoyed spending time together.

Max had his school Christmas program last week.
 They sang a few songs and put on a play.
 He was so so thrilled that his dad was home and able to attend his program.
All the kids did a great job, but Max was by far the cutest!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!



 

Max participates in a community choir each week and this past Sunday was their Christmas program.

A couple of his friends are in the choir and he really enjoys going. They did "The Reluctant Innkeeper". It was super cute and they all did a great job!

The little boys did great at the program. Crocker sat so still and quiet and Eli was pretty content too.



After the program, we ate lunch and then Santa came to visit. Crocker was so thrilled and was the first one in line to see him!




Eli didn't get to see Santa. He was sitting in Sheldon's lap almost asleep. We have a couple other times to see Santa in the works, so he will not be missing out.
