We spent the day before Christmas Eve decorating cookies with friends we've had for 7 years. There was actually more eating than decorating, but it's the attempt that counts. :) I also think we set a record this year for most Christmas movies watched in December! I'm a little burned out on them, to tell the truth....
We headed to church on Christmas Eve afternoon and wanted to play in the mountain of snow they brought in for the festivities, but the weather dropped from 75 to 35 degrees over 24 hours, and the wind made it impossible to enjoy being outside! We had a family dinner (pizza!) and drove around looking at lights. Andrew & Alex each opened a gift from Grammy, and while Andrew was less than thrilled to find a sweatshirt ("Just clothes??!!"), Alex was ecstatic to find a snuggie (complete with slipper socks)! The boys set out reindeer food (oatmeal & glitter), wrote notes & pictures to Santa, set out cookies, and headed to bed for a good night's sleep (we hoped)!
Andrew was awake at 5:45 Christmas morning but was sweet enough to stay in bed and TRY to go back to sleep until 7, when we told them they could get up. Their eyes lit up to see a bike for Andrew and Nintendo DS for Alex! They got a Wii & games, all 6 Star Wars movies, Star Wars action figures & ships, and many, many other fabulous gifts (including: a snuggie for Andrew, as well)! 
For now, we're spending the day playing video games, eating bad food, and soon our friends will be over to celebrate Christmas dinner with us. Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope the day is as good for you, as it is for us!
