Christmas Eve cookies, milk and reindeer food

We made a nice plate of cookies and milk for Santa, Gavin was just admiring the assortment.

Aiden wrote him a letter and included verses from Luke, after all that is the real reason for celebration!

We then went outside to put out our reindeer food.

Christmas Eve Morning Breakfast

Another tradition we started a few years ago, was going to eat breakfast at the Waffle House on Christmas eve morning. It is a must to go while we are still in our jammies!

The first time we went Santa on a Harley was there, each year my littles hope they will see him again. This year he left a note behind before he had to leave and get on with his busy day. Maybe next year...

Kisses of happiness. Check out that picturesque tree lot through the window behind them.

Happy 8th Birthday Aiden

Here are Aiden's first shots of his special day. It is hard for me to believe he is 8 years old. He brings so much joy and laughter into our home. He has amazing problem solving skills and can climb any tree that gets in his way!

EIGHT!!!! wow

Good Morning Birthday boy!

Happy 4th Birthday Gavin

We started a tradition of taking a Birthday photo as soon as the birthday child wakes up. Thankfully Gavin got to sleep in past his siblings on his special day. So here is gavins shot of the day...and a hug with a very sleepy Daddy. Gavin is our funny man, his laughter is infectious and his eyelashes are the envy of all! Happy Birthday little buddy, we love you so much!
