We took the boys to the mall to see Santa. Brennon was a little hesitant to sit on Santa's lap, but once he sat on his lap he was really excited to tell him what he wanted for Christmas!
Devin was so excited about playing Santa, he requested that one of our family traditions be that we make cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve! The boys had a blast making a mess in the kitchen with Dad.
This Christmas we decided to stay home instead of going to our families house. We were a little nervous about how it would go, but we were pleasantly surprised and actually really enjoyed Christmas in our own house.
We decided to start some traditions this year with our boys. The first thing we did was act out the nativity for Family Night. Devin had trouble locating a doll in our house full of boy toys, so he we ended up using Buzz Lightyear for baby Jesus! The boys had a great time reinacting the Nativity, and the entire week following I had to wrap baby Jesus (Buzz Lightyear) over and over again in his blanket. Devin also used my perfume as a gift to give baby Jesus, so Brennon kept running off with my perfume and give it to Jesus (Buzz Lightyear), it drove me crazy but was really cute!
I requested that we begin the tradition of Cinnamin Rolls for Christmas breakfast, they were yummy and very easy (store bought giant cinnamin rolls).
All and all, our first Christmas in our own home, all by ourselves was really fun. We did miss our family though, and hope that in the future maybe they can come to our home for Christmas sometime.
