Addy and Poppy came over Christmas Eve Day so we spent lots of time outside letting the boys be boys. Outside is their happy place, so when the weather permits you can usually find us out back. The little boys love to mimic Harper, so of course they had to play baseball too. I love looking at these pictures because it encompasses each of their personalities so well and the fact that they are toddlers!!

When it got dark we bundled up and walked over to our neighbor's light extravaganza. Harper couldn't wait to show A&P the lights and get a candy cane. It was such a fun little outing especially since we were playing "man to man" 4 adults to 4 kids! We each got to have special time with a kiddo and enjoy this truly magical time of year.
When we got back to the house it was already bedtime, but we decided to snap a quick pic before tucking everyone in....A truly rare occasion that everyone still had the same clothes on after a meal or a nap!!

After the little guys were in bed it was time to make some cookies for Santa Clause. We "made" snowman cookies...I just didn't have it left in me to make sugar cookies..there is always next year! I have a new found appreciation for my Aunt Kay, Grammy, and mom as they usually hosted Christmas. Hosting is a lot of work and I didn't even make a turkey! It is hard to be "in the moment" and also entertain/cook/and be a mom. So Pillsbury it was... with a little hot cocoa:)
