Christmas pics!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day found the four of us home alone together. In the afternoon on the 24th, we baked up some sugar cookies for Santa. Here are the kids anxiously peeking in on them!





Note Keeley's choice of footwear... it's almost always just ONE shoe! :D





Before dinner, each kiddo got to open one gift (to keep them out of our hair, haha!)





After a (somewhat) traditional turkey dinner, it was time to decorate the cookies! Luken was the Chief Sprinkle Sprinkler!








Aww!! A sweet kiss for Daddy!


We opened our gifts after that, but it was a mess of wrapping paper and required hands-on use of wire cutters, so no pictures, haha!

Christmas morning was all about Santa! Luken was up first, so we let him discover that Santa brought not one, but TWO octopuses (octopi?)!




(They have since been named "Stripey" and "Soft Stripey." :P
Keeley and her stocking!





That's all I've got folks. Next it was on to laundry and packing - stay tuned for multiple posts about our wonderful trip! :D

I do love Keeley's green dress- it couldn't look cuter on anyone else!
