We had a little Christmas miracle and woke up to a couple inches of snow. It later turned to rain and then it rained on Christmas so the boys were sad that it wasn't a white Christmas. But those few hours on Christmas Eve day were pretty magical!
During the day we opened a family gift. Laser Tag guns! The kids were so excited and we ran downstairs and had a fun laser tag battle.
We had a magical Christmas Eve dinner and then opened sibling gifts. I love seeing the pure joy and love on their faces as they give and receive gifts for each other. ♥♥
This year some of the boys hinted that they wanted onsie jammies. When I found the dinosaur ones at Target, I knew they would love them! Justin worried Corbin would be too old. We asked Corbin, and although he would have been okay, he said he would rather a hooded sweater. I knew this day would come, and that's okay. The excitement in their voices as they each opened their 'jammies' was priceless ♥♥
We sang some carols and read Luke 2 and sent the kids off to bed. Then I got to start my favorite tradition...the finishing touches of presents and stockings while I watch 'It's a Wonderful Life'!! I look forward to this day all year. I love making the room feel extra special because I know once I go to bed it will not be too long before some kids come sneaking up the stairs to take a peek at the presents sitting under the glowing tree.
Christmas really is magical!
