Christmas Eve

 

We had a very fun Christmas Eve!  While Dan and Tyler slept in, Brady wore an array of different outfits and played with his new blocks, while I took photos of him and Skye!  Once the boys were up, we packed up our car & headed to Northern Virginia to spend the day with Dan's mom!

The boys love seeing their Mummi!  She made a delicious meal (along with Dan's favorite - yorkshire pudding!)  We also had tiramisu!  The boys enjoyed opening their gifts, then Tyler took a bath in the tub with jets, & Brady insisted on going to the playground.  Even though he hadn't been to his Mummi's house in over a year, he definitely hadn't forgotten about the playground nearby!  We tried to explain to him that it was freezing cold, but then we realized we could drive to the playground on our way home & let him to play for a few minutes.  When we got back home, Tyler wanted to open one of his gifts, and he happened to open new lights for his room.  Dan helped him put them up on the walls, and they look so good!

We absolutely loved the slideshow of Dan's dad that Dan's mom shared with us.  There were photos of him I had never seen before, and it was so nice to have him be included in our holiday celebration. We miss him very much and love to tell Tyler and Brady stories about their Papaw Wilson.  It was very fun to see photos of Dan as a child too.  Tyler and Brady both inherited his very long frame!

This was the only photo I managed to get of Dan's mom with Dan, Tyler, & Brady!

This is our Christmas Eve "family photo" - can you spot me in the mirror?!

I love seeing labels on gifts & Skye loved posing with one of Kaija's gifts before we brought it to her house...

I love Brady's handwriting so much...
