Opening one present on Christmas Eve (they get new pj's every year and I let them open them on Christmas Eve so they can sleep in them)

The boys writing a letter to Santa on Christmas Eve telling him how good they have been and to look in his bag for a Wii and maybe a few games

We had a small Christmas this year with just myself and the boys. We were going to go to Richmond to spend it with Dan's family but taking that 10 hour drive (round trip) was just a lot. So we decided to stay here and have our own little Christmas. I am so glad we did! We had a blast. The boys were SO HAPPY with everything they received and Edward just laughed and giggled at everything. The boys favorite gift was their Wii followed closely by their new flannel pj's: Benson got Spider Man pj's and Britton got Buzz Lightyear. They wear them EVERY night!!!
It was hard with Dan being gone. It really is the Holiday that you want to be with your loved ones sharing joy and love. I know we may have more Christmas's apart but I pray that it is a while down the road.
I have LOVED having Benson home from School (he has a two week break and will go back the 4Th of January). Britton just needs him so much and Benson needs Britton just as much. We have mainly stayed home and just enjoyed each other (and the Wii).
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year!
