Christmas Eve

In the past couple of years, we have fallen into a good rhythm with our Christmas schedule. After a fun day with Gramma and Grampa on the the 23rd, Christmas Eve is pretty laid back.  We hang out at home and play with our new toys. This year, the boys found a goodbye letter from Frosty the Elf on the morning of Christmas Eve. They were sad to see Frosty go but oh-so-excited for Santa's arrival!


It was warm this year, so we had to rethink our Christmas Eve church clothes. I still snapped a picture of my cuties out front. Will was a grinch,


so then everyone had to put on a grinch face too!


Mama and her boys.


After Mass, we hustled over to Nana and Pop's for our traditional codfish dinner and bilharacos (butternut squash doughnuts). We were so busy I forgot to grab my camera! Then we came back home, sprinkled reindeer food on the front lawn,



and set out milk and cookies for Santa.


Then two tired but excited little boys snuggled into bed for a long winter's nap!
