Christmas Eve & Day

Christmas Eve Morn. We opted to open all the presents on Christmas Eve & we're glad we did...we were able to 'play' with all the goodies & then be able to focus on the real meaning on the day of.
 His first Christmas...yummy paper!
 Her first play-doh.
 Ari definitely enjoyed the 'ripping open' this time around & was a lot of fun. I'm glad cuz the boys weren't with us this year & we couldn't go home so it was pretty quiet, but it was nice.
This book is from our Grammie who just passed away...she already had everyone's presents (a month & a half before Christmas!!) so it was so special to open them.
 Funniest gift of the day by far--bro-in-law Andy gave Tony 20ish envelopes with $1 in all but one of them (it had $5 in it & was labeled "share with your bro-in-law fund) & they all had hilarious labels relating to Tony's likes. It's referring to our 'Dave Ramsey financial envelope system.' For example, "cheap dollar store microphone fund, swedish fish fund, iTunes fund, agave fund, a-new-envelope-for-Dave-Ramsey-envelope-fund" & so forth...the perfect, thoughtful, humorous gift!
 Christmas Eve breakfast. I call it "Chocolate Bananna Bread Oatmeal" inspired by CCK (in my 'Favorites' links to the side)
 Gingerbread Raspberry Trifle. Mmmmmm.
We invited a family & another guy from our ward & had a glorious little feast.
