This year because of my brother's schedule we changed things up and did Christmas Eve at our house and waited to do Christmas with Gigi and Papa on Christmas Night.
First, we decorated some cookies for Santa. Whoa, hope he likes sprinkles.
Of course, Carter has his cars with him. He turns them over so they won't drive off of the table :)
Then we opened our annual Christmas Eve present...pj's and slippers. They were so excited for Santa's visit!
The best part was showing the boys a very special book. It had a place to record yourself reading the book. The boys thought it was too cool hearing Mimi and Papa's voices!
Davis kept trying to talk to them as if it were a phone!
After 3 rounds of that, it was off to bed so Santa could take care of the bidness. Santa tried to show some restraint this year, so he didn't have to stay at our house too long :)
Christmas morning the boys woke up to discover that Santa drank all the milk and ate most of the cookies. He was nice enough to leave them a few bites though ;)
They opened presents and immediately played with everything. They worked Davis's new Thomas the Train puzzle. But really the whole point of working a puzzle is to jump the puzzle!
Everybody's favorite were the Disney Cars Haulers from Mimi & Papa. Evan got Mack for Lightning McQueen (or as the boys call it "Lightning and The Queen"). Carter got Grey, the Hauler for The King (or as they say "McCain"...I think they got that from all of the election coverage I always had on!) Davis got the Chick Hicks hauler. He likes Chick because he is green. I don't think he really cares that Chick is the villain.
The Lightning and The Queen towels were also a big hit (thank you Wilkies!). Are you sensing a theme here??

After presents we changed out of our PJs, had some yummy cinnamon rolls, and Kyle and I just enjoyed watching our bright-eyed boys. Next on the agenda was the stockings (always my favorite!).
Later that evening it was off to Gigi and Papa's house for more Christmas fun. We took the annual pj picture there. The boys were so happy that Caleb was matching them this time. Here are the best ones we managed.
What a fun and blessed year!
