Christmas 2018

This year was so much fun! The boys are at a great age to bask in the magic of Christmas and we had a grand ole' time celebrating as a family.

 So handsome in their blazers in front of the Christmas tree. 

 Heading to church looking dapper!

 Homemade hot chocolate for a cool Christmas Eve in front of the fire...

 Add in Christmas pjs and Its A Wonderful Life on tv and you have the perfect Christmas eve...

 Cookies and milk are out along with their letter to Santa...

Off to bed for the boys while Santa gets to work making sure there are some surprises underneath the tree...

 Stockings for the puppies are ready to go.
