The best part about Christmas this year was that we were all together.
Kya and Clayton (tried to) surprised us by driving home a day early. Then Jordan and Mikel had to day off so they (tried to) surprised us by coming over too! So when Mike got home from picking Tyson up from the airport, everyone was here:)
Practicing "Dress to Impress Poses" (pose 28 mostly haha)
Christmas Sunday
We decorated sugar cookies
Traditional BAD picture at Evergreen Lights
We decided to give ice skating on Christmas Eve another go...I opted not to skate because of my PTSD from the tailbone incident two years ago. Everyone had a good time except Summer who quit after maybe 3 laps and declared that next year we should skip skating.
Jordan and Mikel had to work just about every day until the evening of Christmas Eve. We were so excited when they finally got home! We went straight to sibling gifts:) We drew names this year, just to keep the cost down for the kids. Everyone was so happy with their gifts...especially Summer who got spoiled with FOUR presents from Jordan.
We then moved on to our gingerbread competition...Kya and Clayton's first test of their marriage--haha.
Christmas Jammies were fun this year. Everyone got a "most likely to..." And Summer got to do grown up PJs for the first time:)
Christmas morning was as magical as ever. I was the first one up--shocker, but the kids quickly followed. I think it was about 7:30am.
Callie was the star of the show, giving everyone so much love on Christmas. We didn't realize until later that Stormi was actually sick (with a swollen lip) which is probably why she was MIA all day.
The girls made the traditional charcuterie board (wearing their matching Aritzia sets)
Gluten free brownie trifle was amazing
Delicious Turkey Dinner
And of course, the Christmas Cracker crowns...I think each boy went through two crowns before the picture haha. Good thing I had extras!
And that's a wrap on another beautiful Christmas
