Just like the last 4 years, we got matching Christmas pjs! We went back to a traditional Christmas look this year instead of the Star Wars ones we did last year. And since there was still a giant oven next to the Christmas tree, we switched to the fireplace for photos this year!
The boys and I took a few practice photos before we even managed to get Matt out of bed. Eliza also joined in the photo trial run. Clearly everyone but one was taking this seriously. Henry, what are you doing?
We tried to get one of all six of us looking at the camera, but no dice this year. A for effort?
This was my favorite one though, the boys actually look happy to be taking photos once they were sitting in our laps. Guess we can't do this when they are 18, so might as well take advantage of it now! Also, Eliza looks super disappointed that she isn't in my lap. Sorry, sweetie!
In the most random of coincidences, I actually bought Matt an oven for Christmas as well. A tiny, countertop one! He's always talking about getting a toaster oven and I think they are silly, but they have come a long way from just being able to make toast. In fact, these awesome cinnamon rolls were made in the "Smart" oven.
Santa may have gone a little overboard this year on stocking stuffers, but Santa forgot what "he" had bought already and kept buying more stuff. But my personal favorite had to be these adorable gorilla slippers! They keep stealing my tiger slippers, so I bought them their own.
I mean Santa did...
And as in tradition, I bought Matt a quadcopter. But since he wrecked his the next day last year, Santa brought him an entire crash kit with multiple of everything. Wreck away, sweetie. (He did manage to get it stuck on the roof this morning, but was a master retriever!)
Lego building time! They pretty much spent most of the day building all of their Lego kits. Matt and I spent a good bulk of the day playing that game on the right - Klask. I bought it for Matt kinda on a whim and we love it so much! Everyone should just take my word for it and buy it. (Heather already did after playing it!)
Henry putting together his first Lego kit. He needed a little bit of help from his dada, but he did pretty awesome for a 2 year old with a 4-6 year old kit.
They got several new dress up sets, but Henry would not let me take a photo of him in the super adorable astronaut costume. I managed to get a photo under the train table of him hiding from me, but trust me, the full view was cuter! Either way, adorables! Love these kids. :)
