.Christmas 2016

20161224 Christmas Eve (13)

On Christmas Eve morning we all went outside and shoveled as a family after a great big snow storm. We came inside and had hot chocolate and decorated our homemade gingerbread house from our friends. And then Air had to leave to work for the rest of the day at two o'clock… Poor guy.

Luckily for these kids the pajama elf brought them some Christmas jammies and we had a fun evening at home.

Poor Ames and Alice woke up on Christmas morning feeling pretty sick! That never happens so it was really sad, but they still plugged through having so much fun with their presents.

The next day we had another Christmas with the family for our family gift exchange. I drew Air's Mom's name so I got her this sweater and I wore the same one that night as a surprise. haha Twinners!:
