About a week ago we received a little snowfall, which was very beautiful and luckily didn't cause many problems on the roads.

For Christmas Eve we went over to Nanna and Papa's house for presents and dinner. They had the house beautifully decorated (as always) and we had a great time eating together and playing with their new X-Box Kinnect system!

Dinner time! Lots of smiling, happy people :-)
After we got back from Nanna and Papa's, the boys went to bed and Logan and I set out the presents (which have been in my closet since little hands have a hard time keeping away from them!)
The tree, in all its glory!
Logan worked Christmas Eve night, which was luckily very quiet, so we planned a nice breakfast for when he got home. I made European Pancakes (crepes) on Christmas Eve, and the next morning we heated them up and had a delicious meal with cut up fruits, whipped cream, and nutella. The boys all enjoyed it!

We then moved into the living room, where the boys opened their presents! It was a lot of fun. This year Tommy received Mr. Potato Head from Santa, and Jack got a toy drum. (They also received toddler beds, but they weren't as excited about those. Pictures coming soon!)

My Men, all so handsome!!!
While Logan was sleeping (recovering from his night shift) the boys and I went to Nanna and Papa's for the afternoon, and had fun watching Toy Story 3 and eating lots of cookies and fudge. For dinner we went to our friends the Graves' house for a delicious Christmas ham with the Coopers and DeSpains. We had 7 kids all together, and it was fun seeing them play and interact.
The boys actually did very well today, and didn't have too many meltdowns! I enjoyed watching them enjoy the Christmas holiday, and as we were putting them to bed Tommy sang "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Jingle Bells" with me and Logan. So adorable! I love Christmas. Such a great time with family :-)
In closing, here is a picture of my "Onion Goggles" that Logan got for me (because I cry like my favorite pet died every time I cut onions), along with the Christmas sweater vest he made me purchase from Goodwill a couple months ago. Enjoy!
This is what happens when you let your husband dress you.
Merry Christmas!
