Christmas Eve



  
Happy Christmas Eve from my little guys! We have plans to break out of the house today for a celebration with extended family and then do a few fun things with the boys this evening. We've sort of started a tradition of picking up donuts for breakfast every Christmas Eve {we have the best little donut shop two blocks away} and we want to start some new traditions too- decorating cookies for Santa and sriving through some Christmas lights before bedtime. Simple and easy traditions are my favorite! 
  Overall, I am just really excited to watch Caleb meet some family today and see him light up with the magic of it all. He knows about baby Jesus already and carries around the manger from his nativity scene all the time. He's too little to really know the meaning of Christmas, but planting little seeds by reading intentional books and playing with his nativity is really fun! And having a newborn to snuggle is just about the best part of this Christmas. Tyler's going through a bit of a growth spurt, so we've had lots of nursing snuggles the past couple of days and I love it! 
  All that to say, Merry Christmas! I hope you're doing some simple and sweet things to celebrate!
