We had a wonderful Christmas this year with lots of time
spent with lots of family. The only
downside was that Lincoln, Ryan and I were all sick at some point which was no
fun and now Wyatt and Gavin are getting it so we are definitely ready for a
healthier new year.
The weekend before Christmas we made our gingerbread
house. The boys had a fun time
decorating the house and each enjoyed a gingerbread cookie they got to decorate
afterwards.
On Christmas Eve we attended the early church service at
Hope. It was amazing as usual. Gavin did awesome during the service and
Lincoln and Wyatt made it through most of the service so I would call that a
success. Afterwards we headed down to my
parent’s house for some yummy food and to open presents. The big gift of the night was kind of a silly
story. When I first asked Wyatt what he
wanted for Christmas all he would tell me were Cheetos. I told Jen this and she decided to have one
of her friends build a giant Cheeto piñata filled with Cheetos. He had a great time busting that open the
next day and was almost just as excited about getting his very own bat (see
below).
It was so nice to get to spend Christmas Eve night at our
house in our own beds especially since Lincoln was not feeling well. Gavin woke up around 6 and was really good
about playing quietly by himself until Wyatt woke up around 7 and then they
both were very patient waiting until Lincoln finally woke up around 7:30 so
they could open their gifts that Santa brought.
Wyatt was so cute because the first thing he said was We were good this
year! I guess he was a little worried
lol. Gavin was really fun this year too
because he was so excited about all his presents exclaiming that each was
exactly what he always wanted.
The big hits were legos for both of the boys, Wyatt’s Ninja Turtle play doh set and Lincoln loved his new broom set and tunnel. We cooked a ham on Christmas to enjoy and my parents came over to see what the boys got for Christmas and play for a little while. It was a nice low key day which was just what we needed since the rest of the weekend was pretty busy.
On Friday Derek, Jenny and kids got into town so we headed
over to Keith and Jan’s for dinner and presents. The boys loved getting to see their cousins
and had such a fun time. Saturday they
all came over to our house to play for the afternoon and the girls and Wyatt
decorated sugar cookies. Then we headed
to Pizza Ranch for the big Steffen Christmas and back to Keith and Jan’s for
some more fun and gift exchange.
Saturday is when Ryan really got hit with the flu so he was pretty much
out of pocket the rest of the weekend.
Sunday was Jan’s 60th birthday so we headed over to Ryan’s
uncle Pat’s house for brunch to celebrate and then hung out at home the rest of
the day so Ryan could rest. Monday we
finished off our Christmas celebration over at my grandparents’ house. My grandma cooked her usual amazing Christmas
dinner and the boys were so excited about their new indoor basketball game from
my grandparents.
