Merry Christmas

We had a nice peaceful Christmas this year. We were all sick the week leading up to Christmas and were still getting over it on Christmas but we were well enough to really enjoy it :) The boys were so excited on Christmas morning. Mike and I actually set an alarm to make sure we were up before them because I didn't want them to discover the tree and stockings without us. We weren't up long before they were and the first words from Liam were "Did Santa come?" They were so excited. Christmas is just so much better with little ones :)

Liam wanted to help with everyones stuff but after a couple presents they got the rhythm of going one at a time. Then came the questions of why we weren't opening each present to play with it right away.

Thor ornament for me this year :)



After stockings we had the traditional Epperson breakfast of waffles with ice cream and strawberries. The boys loved it! Daniel wanted real strawberries but Liam was happy to eat the strawberry preserves with Mike and I :)







The tradition of everyone getting an ornament continues!

We had a great Christmas! We all got wonderful presents (I got a KitchenAid!!!) and the boys couldn't have been happier :) Santa got them exactly what they wanted!

So much good Harry Potter stuff this year!



The boys got what they wanted from Santa this year. Dan wanted a big truck and boy did he get it and Liam kept changing his mind but I think Santa knew what would make him happy








Liam got a Mickey Mouse train :)





The day was filled with playing with toys, eating yummy treats, talking to family and going for a walk/bike ride.











Aunt Stacey and Uncle Doug came over for dinner and to bring the boys their presents.






It was a wonderful Christmas!!! 2018 was a strange year for our family. We lived in 3 different states and ended up back in Vegas. Let's hope 2019 is a great year and we stay put :) Thankfully we got to end the year on a high note!
