Christmas Eve was spent mostly at our house, prepping some appetizers for dinner and finishing up our cookie baking. We went to Mom & Dad's house for dinner, which consisted of heavy hors d oeuvres. It was a great idea and we had some yummy food: Dad did a charcuterie spread, Mom made wings, we had sweet potato bites, pizza dip, etc.
It was strange not having the kids rush to bed in preparation of Santa's arrival, but they still got to bed at a decent hour. We still put out cookies and milk for Santa (wink, wink) and did the traditional photo.
Gifts were small, but mighty this year - everything got wrapped! It all looked so pretty under the tree.
Colin spotted this picture at the mall when we were shopping around Thanksgiving break. I snuck back to the mall one day after work and got it for him once Danny confirmed it would fit above his bed!
Waterproof Bluetooth speaker for the shower and a new phone case.
"It's corn!"♭♮
New team basketball hoodie
Waterpik for those hard-to-clean braces!
AirPods :)
Cadence said her WaterPik and AirPods were her favorite gifts. Colin said his picture and his phone (that he'll be using like an iPod) were his favorites this year. Although, the way he cranks up his music in the shower every night, I think his Bluetooth speaker is his favorite!
After we opened presents, Mom and Dad came over for brunch - we had the traditional breakfast bake and blueberry lemon loaf. Some were disgruntled that the menu did not include Poppa's homemade cinnamon rolls, so I have a feeling they'll make an appearance next year! We hung out at our house a bit and then we all went back to Mom & Dad's for Italian dinner where Mike and Gina met us (with Lucy and Tux) - they had just driven back from Dayton. It was a nice day with the family!
