Night Before

The Elves came... right on schedule, Christmas Eve, to deliver Christmas pajamas...
 
 
 
 
 
And we tried for a picture in front of the tree..
 
 
...oh how we tried!
 
 
...and then we decided group pictures were for the birds.
 
 
Drewsie played with the decor...
 
...while Dominic and Damon finished wrapping their gifts for their sibling gift exchange.  (I love how he spells "Drew"!) 
 
This was our first year of doing a sibling gift exchange with the boys. Dominic and Damon were soooo excited to secretly pick out and wrap their gifts for each other and for Drew. For the first time in his little life, Dominic experienced the spirit of giving. You should've seen him, labeling gifts for Damon and Drew... giddy with excitement. Paranoid that they were going to open my bedroom door and see their present. I love it. :)
 
Finished presents were piled under the tree...
 
 
The Night Before Christmas was read, followed by the Christmas Story...
 
 
These little men made cookies for a special someone...
 
 
 
 
(Thanks for the cookie plate, Mamie!)
 
 
 
And at some point, in the middle of the night,
that special someone left a bunch of presents under our tree.  :)
