Tonight was our Christmas Eve. You are probably wondering why, so let me explain. We are going back home to Texas for the holidays and did not want to haul all of our presents around the country, so we decided to make the Friday before we leave our Christmas Eve and Saturday our Christmas.
Here's how we spent our first Christmas Eve as a family of 4: First I got Connor dressed in his Christmas jammies. It is not an easy task these days. He rolls all over and tries to get away from me!
First his shirt.
Then his pants.
All dressed!
Aaron and I have always opened a gift on Christmas Eve. This year we only got each other a small gift, so we decided to save ours for tomorrow. Connor had a bunch of presents, so Aaron chose one for him to open.
"Look at my new bow Dadda!"
He had no idea what to do.
He got his own remote so he won't try and steal ours.
The boys
After Connor opened his present, we read The Night Before Christmas in front of the Christmas tree.
Santa is watching.
He started getting fussy towards the end of the book.

Since Santa makes special visits to good little boys and girls when they are going away for Christmas, we had only one thing left to do. We put out milk and red velvet cookies. I hope Santa likes them!
Connor really wanted the cookies... I don't blame him!
My favorite!
Almost got them!
The boys and Kylie played on the carpet for a little while. I think Aaron was trying to get Connor nice and sleepy!
Kylie sandwich.
Best friends!
Tonight was so special. I love my little family and the new memories that we have created.
