Christmas 2018 was errrrr thing!
Look at our little pajammied elves! :)
Every year they race like nutballs to fit in all the pre-bedtime things so they'll be tucked nicely in bed before the Big Man in red comes a callin'.
Such as decorating cookies...
And writing their final pleas... :)
Then we open a couple of family games and if I do say so myself, this girl NAILED IT!
This game is called Connect Four Shots. Everyone who has played LOVES it. It's like rated G beer pong with a purpose.
Boone is shockingly good.
We moved on to "Hearing Things" and it was funny but too hard for most of our crowd. The gist is a player puts on sound cancelling head phones and watches someone mouth words and they try to guess what the other person is saying. It's wicked hard, but still pretty dang funny.
My favorite part of the night was reading the scripture story with the boys.
Boone was the official "People putter outer" as we talked about the Shepherds an Mary and Joseph and even Baby Jesus. He did a great job.
And then it was morning....
I got a couple of those "faces filled with delight" caught on camera and I'm SO glad.
Boone got his much anticipated "Maui Hook with lights and a button" After that we were all hooked on Christmas! :)
The boys were such thoughtful gift givers and gracious gift receivers. It was a good year for our hearts to burst right out of our chests.
And then of course in the aftermath of presents and clean up - the dudes found giant boxes of cardboard. Which is every little lad's love language no matter their age... :)
We got to spend time with all our loved ones close to us over the course of the break and we loved having so much time to sled and play and work together.
Last night we met as a family and wrote up our big goals for 2019. Lemme tell you what... Gardner Guys will change the world. Watch out, everybody! And Happiest Holidays!
