Christmas fell on a Sunday this year so our traditions all around looked a little different this year, which is fine, just different! Nate and Sara drove up from Evansville and stayed with us Friday night through Tuesday morning. It was so nice having them around and getting to know Sara a little better. The kids LOVED having them stay with us, too!
As I was finishing up Christmas shopping earlier in the week, I found these curlers and Emerson wanted to try them so she'd have curly hair for Christmas. They worked amazingly well! We put them in after her shower and she slept on them all night. The next morning...
her hair was SUPER curly and so cute. She was really excited about it and also since they were really good, they got to play with Tricky, the elf, and Santa came to pick him up when he delivered presents.
They both LOVE their elf so much and usually spend a good amount of time arguing over who's turn it is to play with him or hold him!
We had a Christmas Eve brunch over at Todd and Cathy's again this year. It is always yummy and a nice relaxing time. The kids go over in their pjs and get to spend most of the day playing,
Usually, before the kids go to bed, they open their new Christmas pjs, put out milk and cookies for Santa, and "try" really hard to get to sleep. This year, though, was a little different because our Sunday School class was in charge of the service at church. So the kids got to stay up past midnight! Matt and I got to play Mary and Joseph in the play that Pastor Frank wrote for us. The kids were so excited to stay up so late, but we had to rush home and get to sleep so Santa could stop at our house and fill the stockings and hopefully leave each child a present!
