Christmas Post Overload

We celebrated before Christmas with my families Christmas Party. The kids loved going up front and singing and holding the Santa signs. Gage has been in this super shy faze but as soon as Kimberlee does something he has to do it.

He was all about Santa this go around. He ran up to him and jumped on his lap. Told him he plays soccer with his dad, told him he wanted a truck, water gun, and a bike. We were super proud of him!

We decorated a gingerbread house for the first time. It was fun but we were terrible at it. The entire time the house was falling down, and we were mainly just eating the frosting. Gage loved it so that's all that matters!

We went to Zoo Lights. We weren't thinking and decided to go the day before Christmas Eve, yes big mistake. Everyone and their dog was there and it was freezing! We bundled up the kids so that was good but the crowds made it a bummer. Next year we will go way earlier in the month, lesson learned.

Christmas Eve morning we headed over to my moms for a breakfast. We had some great food, and had a lot of fun with the family. We all opened up our Christmas eve jammies, and had a pretty sweet dance party.

That afternoon we went to a movie, just the 3 of us. Gage loves the movies and does so good during them. We went and saw Aurthur's Christmas, it was a cute one. A movie on Christmas Eve is a tradition we love!

Here is a little video of Gage Christmas morning.
He loved his blue truck and talked about it all day, he wasn't even interested in opening the presents under the tree. We did Christmas with our little family then headed off to my parents house.

This Christmas I stayed in my pajamas the entire day, best decision yet. My parents spoiled us like crazy and the kids had so much fun! Gage's favorites from my parents was the air hockey game, the toy story helicopter, and the easy bake oven. (Ok ok that was my favorite).My sisters and brother in laws spoiled us as well, so thankful for my amazing family!

After a very yummy breakfast we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa C. Gage was all excited to be the center of attention and he got spoiled for the 4th time. He loves his slippers, remote control car, and his Harley jacket! We got some much needed pots & pans, and enjoyed some lazy time with the family. Thanks Julie & Kurt we love you guys.

When we got home we went right outside to test out the new stuff. Gage has really picked up on the bike but will not ride his new jeep in the road. ;) We are so thankful this Christmas for time with our families and for being together! I hope everyone had a great Christmas as well!
