Christmas Morning

This year we stayed at our house Christmas Eve (1st year that we have done this)

It was so much fun to have a little guy that understood what was going on in regards to Santa visiting us!  He was very excited to leave cookies for Santa, Carrots for the Reindeer and PICKLES for the elves (his idea :)  It was our last day hanging out with "Dexter" our Elf as well.  Carter woke up and said he heard Santa last night, and he said "Carter you were a good boy!"

He had a blast opening up all of the fun presents Santa left him!

All of his Santa presents!
And if you look closely "Dexter" is hanging out in Carter's stocking.

Our sweet baby girl's 1st Christmas!
She got lots and lots of fun things too....
but she preferred the paper and boxes :)

Big brother preferred the bubble wrap

Gingerbread House

Christmas Eve Morning we tried a new little tradition.  And I thought the little man did pretty well!  I found a cute little Gingerbread House kit that was pretty easy.  Carter had fun decorating (and eating the candy and powdered sugar)  Cohen had fun too!  (Half of our roof would have been missing though if we didn't catch him sneaking some candies)  Carter's favorite part was making it 'snow' with powdered sugar.

Grandma and Reese watching the boys decorate

licking their fingers....mmmm sugar

Only picture I got of them looking at the camera!!  YAY it's Christmas!!!

It didn't turn out too bad

And yes....my son is licking powdered sugar off of the counter...sweet tooth much?

Remme Family Christmas

We celebrated with Josh's Family on the Sunday before Christmas.  We hosted this year.  It was such a relaxing fun day!  The boys had a blast and Reese had fun trying to keep up with them :)  We watched Home Alone (Carter's new favorite movie), ate a yummy ham dinner and opened up lots and lots of presents!  I also couldn't wait until Christmas so I gave Josh his Ipad early :)

1st Christmas Celebration!

Friday evening we spent the night at Nana and Grandpa Jeff's house.  We decorated some cookies, ate YUMMY lasagna, watched Christmas movies and opened presents!  The long weekend allowed for a very relaxing, laid back celebration!
