Christmas Week Fun!

The week before Christmas the boys had off of school so they spent Monday-Wednesday with Nana.  The Sunday before Christmas our church had their Candlelight Service at 6pm.  The boys sat with us and did pretty well.   On Christmas Eve, we we to service at First Methodist in Longview and met Nana, Grandadd, Mr. Craig and Aunt EJ there.  Christmas morning Nana, Granddad and Aunt EJ came to out house to watch the boys open their presents.  Keeping with tradition, we had a late brunch after the boys finished opening their present.  After brunch, they left while we all took a nap.  Christmas Day evening we went over to their house and spent the evening opening presents, eating and baking there.   As always, the pictures do most of the speaking!

After church Sunday evening we went to the Moore's for a little bit and my children are OBSESSED with Jackson's dirtbike!

Wednesday night we loaded up the boys and went looking at Christmas lights!

Wednesday night I may have had a LOT of wrapping to do still (like all)

Ryan loved his new balance bike from Santa!

The boys Christmas Morning!

Ripping into their presents!

Nathan loved his dinosaur!

Ryan was excited about his "Hot Wheels!"

This was Ryan's present but I'm pretty sure Nathan was more excited about it!

Granddad and EJ playing dinosaurs!

Nathan "hunting" with his new bow-and-arrow nerf gun!

And sadly when we woke up the day after Christmas, we realized our poor fish, Memo, had died.  Since we were at the lake, we thought a burial at sea seemed appropriate!
