Christmas is such a magical time of year and I can honestly say that never before have I had as much fun. These two guys light up our lives and its such a wonderful life being able to see the world and wonders in it through their eyes. It all began with a trip to visit Santa. Connor had a complicated request…. he asked for some “toys”. It may be the last year that Santa has it so easy before the very specific list begins….. lucky Santa!
We introduced a new member of the family, thanks to Auntie Eggie – Jingles, the Elf on the Shelf for Christmas. He made his first appearance Christmas Eve morning and was a big hit! Connor and Drew love him - and we love you! Thanks for making our day!
We were lucky enough to be surrounded by family for Christmas. The entire Kachmarik family made their way out from Seattle and my brothers made it home. It was so much fun to have so much love surrounding our boys. They are lucky kids and we are all blessed to have such wonderful family.
We started the evening on Christmas Eve by going to the Children’s Mass, where these two were adorable! We then headed home to open gifts with the Kachmarik crew. Connor and Drew were spoiled by gifts as you can see surrounded by the tree.
Connor carefully laid out cookies and carrots for Santa and the reindeer. Christmas morning was full of more excitement as the kids came downstairs to “toys” as requested from Santa. Connor checked out that the cookies had been eaten, and then got most excited with the bag of Trader Joe’s pretzels and the box of Monster Kleenex.
The next day the guys all took a hike above the city to take in the scenery and a little fresh air, while the kids played with all their new toys.
We got to spend a little Wheeler family time opening presents together too! We were lucky to get to spend great family time with all of the family together and with each family separately. It really is a wonderful life!
And – here’s the obligatory belly shot --- but you get three cute guys in the mix as well!
Lish, I do not know how you manage to look so great! I love love love this post. The boys are growing so quickly! We ARE going to make it to visit you and the boys or you and the boys plus a girl (we'll see) after new baby makes its appearance. Cannot wait!!!
