Christmas

We spent the evening and afternoon with the Oliver's and the Blades family yesterday.  This is the second year that we have attended their Christmas Eve party.  It was A LOT colder this year.  I told the boys to wear warm clothes and stay out of the creek.  Boys don't like to listen.  Well, mine don't anyway...

Henry was freezing and crying.  He took his boots and wet socks off by the fire and refused to move.  I'm thankful that we never clean the van out.  I found dry, dirty socks and old tennis shoes in there.  Henry melted his pants by the fire and begged us to leave, but Hayden wanted to stay for the fireworks.  I think...  deeeeeep breath, the boys may have learned their lesson.  Do NOT GET WET when it is freezing cold out.  I think I said that like 30 times yesterday.

That's Henry in the Blackhawks blanket, refusing to watch the fireworks.

Gavin, Ryan, Hayden, and Ben

I think they have better fireworks than the city....

Today has been a great day.  My boys let me sleep in.  I actually woke up before Henry.  He was snoring away and it was so cute.  It was fun watching everyone open presents.  The kids were all so happy and smiling for hours.

Merry Christmas!
