Christmas Eve...

We had a really fun day on Christmas Eve. We got up and got ready for the day then headed over to the new trampoline park in town called the JumpZone. We hadn't been there yet, but my cute friend Randi texted me a few days before saying that her brother had rented the whole place out for a couple hours on Christmas Eve morning and told her to invite whoever she wanted.

The boys absolutely loved it! And it was fun for me to get to sit and catch up with Randi...we haven't seen eachother in way too long.

 After our time was up, we went to lunch at Angie's restaurant and watched the snow coming down out the window. Oh yeah...we got A LOT of snow on Christmas Eve!

After lunch, we went home and baked our Christmas cookies and the boys spent awhile decorating (and eating!) them.

Then after playing for a little while, it was time to get ready for mass.

I say it every year, but I love going to mass on Christmas Eve. Ashton and Gunnar were so excited for the next morning that they had a  hard time sitting still, but they did okay. We took up the gifts this year too, so that was nice :)

It snowed and snowed even more while we were in church...the roads were totally covered as we drove home. What perfect Christmas Eve weather!

That night as usual we let the boys open their Christmas pajamas and an ornament and this year a movie to share.

Then we made a quick dinner and ate and watched the movie...

The Nativity. It was a cute little movie about the birth of Jesus and I was glad it held their attention the whole time!

Then it was off to bed...the one night of the year that they go gladly. 

Of course we had to put our cookies and milk out for Santa...and the boys got so slap happy, they couldn't stop laughing...haha :)

 I love the anticipation on Christmas Eve! So fun!
