Owen, "rocking around the christmas tree"
For the first few nights Caitlin had to spend as much time as she could under the Christmas tree lights (and in this case, under the light of the ipad also).

Caitlin stayed very focused
We baked LOTS of cookies
and decorated them

And if you want to keep trouble-making boys busy, you need to give them busy work...like unwrapping hersey kisses and sticking them on pretzels (they LOVED doing this, seriously!) for a hersey-kiss covered pretzel treat

Christmas day at my parents house
Noah is such a grandpa's boy. If grandpa is around he only wants him.

Caitlin's present from my dad. He's doing everything in his power to make sure this American girl becomes a hockey fan!
Owen and Uncle Brent
In the evening my extended family got together for Christmas dinner. Santa even made an appearance.

Cute! You gave me a good idea with the Hershey kisses.... Too bad you don't have photos of my kids ripping ornaments off your tree! ;)
