Finally Christmas Eve - and a cold Christmas Eve it was! A high of only 29 that day, but not a cloud in the sky. (no white Christmas here!) After a 4pm Christmas Eve church service, we returned home for yummy Rao's sauce & homemade meatballs simmering in the slow cooker.
The boys got in their pajamas and right to work setting out milk and cookies for Santa. (Even Moose got in his pajamas!
After our holiday movie tradition of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Santa arrived! (And yes, there's no star or angel on this tree)
Christmas morning and the boys are checking it all out!
They each picked one present before breakfast.
After a nice blueberry waffle and bacon breakfast, we returned to opening gifts. Matching drones from Grandpa and Grammy!
I guess at some point, it got really exhausting.....
Brock got a new holder for all his swim ribbons. Kade also got a new 10-belt holder for his taekwondo progress - he already had two holding out for his new rack!
Kade has been ALL about chess lately and was thrilled to receive a chess timer! (He was also excited about an earlier present - new Minecraft themed tennis shoes - and decided to wear them through the rest of the unwrapping)
Cornhole - Carolina themed!
Look at those happy faces!
The following day, the boys ventured outside (it was a bit warmer) to try out their new drones.
Moose says he's tired from this cold weather!
We had a lot of epic breakfasts during the holiday break - including pancakes made with this adorable pancake mold by Aunt Katherin!

After a lunch at Maggiano's with the family, we stopped by an outside fountain to let the boys finish their ice cream. We asked Brock to take a nice photo. Thanks Brock for the picture of your parents!
Happy New Year to all! Here's to a better 2023!
