our christmas

i did get four stockings complete. . . about a day before it was time to pack it all away for next year.
it sure will be nice to open that box in december. :)

a week before christmas we had our christmas morning with our little family at home since we'd be in kansas on christmas.

we did the whole bit, stockings, read the christmas story, cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then presents.

i made pioneer woman's cinnamon rolls.
it was my first time to ever make cinnamon rolls.
they were awesome, obviously.

our tradition is to let the boys open their stockings first thing.

then eat breakfast and read the christmas story from the Bible.

then exchange gifts.

this year we did a couple of family gifts and 2 individual gifts for each child. 

i am most happy when all six of us are together.
it was a very happy morning.

i put a lot of pressure on myself to get the boys the exact right gift and it is so unnecessary because they are so happy over any little thing.
they are really joyful little boys and i am so thankful for that.

the wood burning stove {which i am in love with} makes this room so cozy and perfect for family time.
i loved hanging out in my pj's with my family . . . and my coffee.

this year was a very toy story christmas for sawyer.

our budding little artist received lots of drawing stuff this christmas.

even though it felt a little weird to have "christmas" before christmas day, it was actually very helpful to have the celebrations {and therefore shopping, baking, & crafting}  spread out a little.

it was a very merry day in this house. :)


okay friends, have a happy wednesday!
today is our last day of christmas break so i'm off to go spend time with my boys!
