Christmas Eve Celebration

We moved the week before Christmas so our decorations were very simple and we had pretty much zero furniture. BUT, we were super excited to spend our first Christmas as a family of five in our FIRST house! 

All dressed up for Christmas Sunday.

Kinsey and I got our decorating on after church. We figured four days of decorations was better than nothing to get us in the Christmas spirit. She was a great helper, and much to my relief, we escaped another year of our tree and ornaments being attacked by baby hands. 

My sister's family stayed the night on the 23rd so Kinsey, Amora, and I made Christmas cookies. They didn't really turn out (still getting used to my new oven) but I'm sure Santa didn't mind some crispy cookies.  

Christmas Eve was dedicated to my side of the family. Since it was the babies' first Christmas, we had to attempt a mini photo shoot like the ones I see on Pinterest. Scarlett and Shayla weren't very smiley, but I still love any picture with my babies in it!

This is my favorite one!! Does anyone else love Christmas jammies as much as I do!?

 Here is the closest we got to their adorable smiles. 

 My mom, stepdad, and little brother came over on Christmas Eve morning and we ate some yummy breakfast. 

Adam was clearly VERY excited. 

 Then we opened presents!!

 Kinsey asked Santa for a pony this year, and she lucked out! My mom got her two My Little Pony items. It was a good thing she got two because she only likes one of them. Haha. She's silly. 

 

I made Snow White aprons for my nieces (thank you Pinterest). I wasn't sure what they would think of them, but Amora seemed pretty happy about it. She put it on immediately. WIN for Aunt Cindy. 

 My sister, Wendy, made the girls pillows for their rooms. Kinsey opened up the pillow then ran straight to her room to test it out. I think that was another WIN. 

 The twins did pretty good with opening their first present ever. They tore at the paper and eventually saw what was inside. Of course, Kinsey was there to help whenever they were taking too long. She's so thoughtful. 

We had a great Christmas #1 and enjoyed spending time with my family! If the toddler is happy, everyone is happy.
