Christmas 2023

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve the kids decorated cookies and we made cinnamon rolls.

We went to our Christmas Eve service at church, put cookies out for Santa and did our annual Christmas pyramid. We had friends over for dinner (their dad works at the church so always has to work Christmas Eve).
On Christmas morning, we started early with stockings and breakfast.

Here are a few videos of the kids opening gifts...Ben:
 

Eleanor: 
 

Jane: 
 

Rosie: 

 


They loved opening gifts (as do all kids I think)!

Ben got a new lacrosse helmet that he was excited about.

Rosie got a new cloak (that I had to make with my neighbor since she wanted a specific material).

We took a walk as a family in the afternoon.

We enjoyed the slowness of Christmas before heading up to my mom's house the next morning!

We drove up right after Christmas and spent a few days at my mom's house. We went ice skating...

We completed a few puzzles and played card games...

Spent lots of good time with family...

Exchanged gifts for Christmas...

Played hockey, golf, and princesses with the kids new gifts, as well as bingo and laser tag...

Played hide and seek in the yard...

...and decorated a gingerbread house!

Chris has since been enjoying his new leaf blower!

We had such a great time visiting with family! Merry Christmas to everyone!
