T'was the Night Before...

Christmas!!

We started the day by making yummy goodies and delivering them to several neighbors and friends. I had this grand idea that we would spend all this time baking together as a family but it didn't really pan out that way. Abby and Landon seemed to be more interested in watching where Santa was on NORAD instead. I at least had fun in the kitchen!!

That evening we had our traditional pizza for dinner and then headed down to Williamsport to see their holiday light display. We came back home and after reading and watching Luke 2, we reenacted our own version of that first Christmas complete with Nolan as Baby Jesus, Abby as Mary and Landon playing duel roles as Joseph and a Wise Man (per his request!)

Then it was time for the first gifts of Christmas...

Nolan seemed to be quite enthralled with his gift (or at least the wrapping paper part!)...

While Landon and Abby tore open their matching pajamas...

And new family game!!

They loved their new pajamas and especially liked how they all matched!! (It isn't easy finding the same pajama set for 6 months-5T but thanks to Amazon, I was able to make it happen. Actually Amazon is where most of our Christmas came from this year!!)

After sending the kidlets off to bed, it was time for Santa and Mrs. Claus to get to work for the next morning's festivities. For the first time ever, none of the gifts required any assembly which means that we merely had to set them out and then got to enjoy the rest of our evening!!

Landon and his requested "Superhero" costumes...

Nolan and his new tool set (not really requested but enjoyed nonetheless!)...

And Abby's much requested art kit...

Next up...Christmas Morning!!!
