Christmas Eve

Friday started off our busy Christmas weekend.  Kevin, Rachel, and my dad all came over for lunch and we exchanged some gifts.  Connor enjoyed having everyone there and of course loved opening presents!
Carson got in on the fun too.
After nap time we headed to mom's for the rest of the day.  Connor loves helping in the kitchen so he was thrilled when we let him make cupcakes to celebrate Jesus' birthday.
After we got back from the Christmas Eve service at church we let Connor decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles.
Of course eating them was his favorite part!
Our Christmas Eve service at church was definitely a new experience this year with a 2 year old and a 2 month old!  I took Connor down to the front where the children listen to the Christmas story being read.  About a minute into it he looks back at me with almost tears in his eyes and says "I lost my Mimi!"  So I knew he was ready to leave and luckily we were off to the side where we could sneak out. :)  I don't think he stopped talking the whole rest of the night.

I made an attempt to get a few pictures after we got home form church.
After we enjoyed some of Mom's delicious chili we headed home to get ready for Santa.  
Connor set out the cookies for Santa and spent a lot of time lining them perfectly up on the plate.  I think he was really doing some serious contemplating on if Santa would still come if he ate the cookies instead.
We quickly put the boys in their Christmas pjs and off to bed they went!
