Christmas Eve

We started our Christmas Eve by going for a family hike/walk. Daniel and daddy hiked up Lone mountain a bit while Liam and I walked on the trail around the bottom of the mountain. We collected rocks and Liam wanted to walk until we found water to throw them in.... sorry buddy we live in the desert. The boys did find smaller hills of dirt that they had fun climbing and sliding down. 

After naps we decorated Santa cookies, we watched the Grinch and we got into our Santa jammies. Thankfully my boys are so used to taking pictures that when I asked them to sit in front of the tree and smile they got it done fast. They're pros at this point.

Daniel had been asking for the entire month leading up to Christmas when we were going to make Santa cookies. So he was very excited when it was finally time to leave cookies out for Santa and he picked the gingerbread man and Liam picked the tree because he frosted almost all the tree cookies.

They were two very excited little boys! Then we read Twas the Night Before Christmas and the story of Jesus birth and went to bed :)
