A Cozy Christmas at Home 2017

This holiday season we enjoyed a cozy Christmas at home in our jammies. While mommy and daddy may have gotten up with baby brother a few extra times due to congestion and ear trouble, after a few more hours of sleep it was time to wake up the kiddos for a fun morning of Santa, sweet photo opts, delicious eats, play, and most importantly cozy moments together.
Santa brought fun Paw Patrol friends for Liam and Aubrey. They surely love their Chase and Sky pups.

Some of the kiddos favorite little gifts were figurines of safari animals and unicorns, balls, cleaning toys from Melissa and Doug, and an ice cream shop.
We loved the special Christmas box from our Alabama family. We loved all the sweet touches plus this adorable picture of them.
filled with adorable sweetness and pillows...
Liam's toy truck was a huge hit! Thank you Nana.
Unwrapping some fun with daddy.
I do love my little dinosaur. A dinosaur says... ROAR!
And Santa brought Aubrey her much requested YO-YO!
The aftermath was a beautiful mess of Christmas wrapping fun. The kids enjoyed a fun morning of play in jammies. Santa also thought it would be fun to take out Aubrey's pool slide, blow it up, and leave it in the living room for us to put all the balls in and play all morning.

The indoor ball pit was a huge success!
 
I am so thankful to have my best friend and main squeeze to enjoy these precious moments shared this Christmas. I love his joy, his comfort, and his love for our babies. But most importantly I love his love for Jesus. I love his guidance with our kids and how he helps lead our family. He is my rock and my bestie. Love him! 

Above all this Christmas season, we wanted to teach our children about the true reason for the season. This Christmas day we had a celebration for Jesus, as He is our reason and our greatest gift.
Aubrey suggested we should make a chocolate cake as Jesus may like chocolate. It's definitely the thought that counts. It was a fun way to explain that Jesus is alive and he's with us. It was a wonderful picture of us celebrating Him.
So thankful for this incredible gift of fun at home with my loves. We were thankful to celebrate Jesus and to make these special family traditions together. We did surely miss our extended family and were so thankful to have special chats with each of them. We will be so excited to make another visit this coming New Year.
