Our Christmas Eve was spent at home enjoying our own little family Christmas. We had a GREAT day together! The boys got to open their gifts and spent most of the day playing with them. Mike and I enjoyed some time to mostly relax, although I had to work on packing for our trip to Minnesota.

We missed out on the extended Nelson family Christmas, so we made our own cinnamon roll Christmas tree.
Later in the morning, we opened up our stockings.
Jonah got an Angry Bird in his stocking.
And, he got a slinky. It didn't go down the stairs very well, but they tried.
Silas got tired out and decided this would be a good place to rest.
After naps, we opened a few little presents.
This advent we used an Usborne nativity book that had a piece of the nativity scene that you took out and set up. We read the book every night and by the end Jonah could almost recite the book by memory.
We are always thankful for days when our whole family is home together for an entire day. It doesn't happen that often. And, we are especially thankful for when that day is a day to celebrate Jesus' birth!
