Christmas 2017

We started out Christmas Eve by heading to 4pm mass. Conor was a huge handful! He had taken a great nap and had so much energy. Next year I might try and skip his nap so he falls asleep during church!

After mass we headed to my parents house for Christmas Eve dinner.

Denton and John weren't able to make it this year, so it was a smaller group. We made sure to include their wedding cutouts in our photos!

Love this picture of Conor and Michael

After dinner at my parents we headed home. We put out cookies and milk for Santa, sprinkled reindeer food and carrots outside and put on our Christmas jammies.

Then it was time for Santa to get to work. This isn't even all of our boxes, but I thought it was funny that every single one was from Amazon. We have been pretty busy, so it was all online shopping this year!

Santa set up everything in a little over 2 hours. We didn't have anything really big to set up this year, so going to bed at 1am seemed like a real treat! 

Conor loves Toy Story, so Santa brought him his own Woody and Buzz. He also got a kindle fire. He just started to notice that the big boys each have one and was upset that he didn't have his own. He doesn't know how to work it, but it's great for playing movies when we need him to be quiet when out at dinner. 

Patrick asked for big Ninjago legos from Santa. He also really loves family game night, so he received a new game that we could all play together.

Peyton asked for a superhero Lego and a walking dinosaur. 

For the joint presents, we got them a ball pit, a tabletop air hockey table and a new hot wheels crash set. It was a pretty simple Christmas, but I think they thoroughly enjoyed all of their gifts!

His cheese face cracks me up!

After playing with Santa's toys for a little while we headed over for brunch at Nana and Grumps. 

I love how Conor is just beaming at his brothers. He tries to be just like them.

Love these precious little Christmas blessings

We attempted to get a picture with Nana and Grumps

After brunch, we headed over to see what Santa brought to Big and Allie's house. We all took a quick nap and then headed back over to Nana and Grumps for Christmas dinner and family presents.

We had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by lots of family!
