They loved to eat a candy from the countdown chain every day, and change the numbers on the countdown blocks.
Paige was excited for the start of the Christmas season since I had been telling her that the baby wouldn't come till after Christmas, but she still had to adjust to a longer wait. She told me for weeks what she wanted to ask for from Santa. They both did great with Santa and were both excited to see him and ask for a special present they wanted for Christmas.
Paige was happy and nice while she talked to Santa and asked for Elsa and Anna multiple times.
Mason couldn't wait to ask for Pokemon, anything Pokemon. They did great posing for my picture.
While family was up we made sugar cookies and had lots of fun hanging out with family and the kids played a ton with their cousins.
We went to church on Christmas Eve then spent the night at Grandma B's house for dinner, time with family and presents. The kids had a great time and loved what they got. Mason was so happy to see a race car, gun, new hat, and fun toys.
Paige was all too thrilled to get dress-up stuff, along with Moana. She sang the Moana songs all night and insisted on wearing her earrings all the way home.
We had all the cousins over at our house Christmas Eve night. They slept pretty well considering what night it was. W got to watch the kids open their Santa presents and their stockings. They loved it, and were so happy they got everything they asked for. We had cinnamon rolls, egg souffle, and juice for a quick breakfast and then back to playing with our stuff.
We opened a few more present from my family before heading over to JB and Debz house for the rest of the presents and a fun afternoon with family. The kids all had a great time playing Uno-Attack. I was really worried Mason would be sad and pout when the cards spit out at him, but he loved it and laughed every time.
We loved all the things we got and being able to watch our kids open presents and see all of our family and give them their presents.
The kids also opened presents when my parents came up in January as a second Christmas. We got new movies, I got super cute Hunter boots, Christopher got shoes specific to mountain biking, and the kids got some fun things from some of their Aunts and an awesome craft station set from Grammie and Paka. They have had the best time making all kinds of fun projects.
I love the Christmas season and focusing on family and love. We are so lucky to spend time with family and around those we love.
