We travel every year over Christmas to see family and then go to TCX (Cru's regional Christmas Conference). So our tradition has been to set aside a day before we leave to celebrate as a family.
We started out this year with stockings...a new tradition for our family but one we both grew up with. The boys loved it! And it was fun to exchange some gifts with Tim.
Then we ate a big brunch. Cros gave us a mega battle over his eggs:) I can smile about it now.
We read the Christmas story and picked out a gift from the Compassion catalog.
We spent the rest of the morning lazily opening gifts and playing together.
Last year we made a birthday cake for Jesus but we decided to mix it up this year and make dipped pretzels. The boys loved putting on the sprinkles. And eating them:)
We also had lots of time for snuggling and wrestling of course!
We finished up our celebration by surprising the boys and taking them to a movie, Big Hero 6. It was the first time we brought Crosby to the theater. After all of the previews he thought it was time to go home:) Tim needed to take him out of the theater for a while but he did pretty good. Afterwards when we asked him what he favorite part of the movie was he said, "I liked walking in the hallway with daddy best!"
