Oh What Fun

The boys are nestled all snug in their beds
 

And as I wait for St Nicholas, I am reflecting on the magic we have already experienced this Christmas break

Hanging the final book of our nativity story on our Advent tree

Unfortunately, a stomach bug took out Alexander today for Christmas Eve. We attended church from the couch and Alexander snuggled into me and fell asleep like when he was a little boy. My heart.

The boys were worried Santa might crash on top of our goofy girl 

I made 'drive-in' movie boxes for the boys in hopes of adding a fun factor to lying in all day

A Battleship game between movies

Just yesterday we had a blast celebrating Alexander's birthday. We started with TopGolf and ended with smashing Jupiter! Daniel turned Alexander's school project into a homemade piñata.

Definitely the Cool Dad!

These three have such a strong bond 

We love having Gammie and the Deshazos in town!

Cousin time

Luan and Benson had not met before this day, but this trio worked so well. Everyone had a great time. Alexander absolutely loved his birthday celebration!

Niko got the hang of it and won a round!

My goofy girl. She has lost all of her manners in her old age.

Pretending like the gingerbread Minecraft build is their masterpiece 

The actual designers

Heidi was so meticulous! I used The More, The Merrier to guide my designs.

Christmas at Aloha Zoo was incredible! We were hoping to enjoy ourselves, but were surprised by just how much there was. Everyone had a great time!

At the start of the break, we had Luan over and the boys had a pajama nerf war

Merry Christmas to All and to All, a Good Night!

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
