For Christmas Eve we went to our church for a candlelight service.
Later that night, Luke and I set to work wrapping all the presents. Took much longer than anticipated since Josie kept trying to get in the way.
Christmas morning was great! Santa left lots of fun gifts and even a scavenger hunt to their big gifts. Jack got the new Skylanders and Lily got nail polish. Luke and I both got new running watches.
Later that day Santa even came for a visit. The kids were skeptical and kept asking Santa why he sounded like Papi. And then there was the time when Santa's pants fell down...
But the kids loved it nonetheless
Except for Josie... she doesn't like men with beards.
Christmas evening Luke prepared a raclette meal
Our yearly tradition that I always look forward to.
Meanwhile the kids settled in with their presents. Here is Lily wearing her new gymnastics uniform (Nani & Papi got her gymnastics lessons), while playing her new cupcake game with her new creepy doll head. Christmas bliss right here!
And Josie was content with a box and markers.
All the fun tuckered her out and she fell asleep right as we started to eat dinner.
It was a perfect Christmas. Soaking up all these Christmas memories while they are still so little.
