Our Christmas boys

Landon and Keegan love Christmas.  They love to wear Christmas shirts, dress up like Santa and his reindeer, and put on Christmas plays.  Here are some cute pics of them the past couple weeks.

Keegan's Gymnastics

Last night Keegan had his Christmas show at gymnastics.  We got to observe from the observation deck and take lots of pictures.  He went through a winter obstacle course where he jumped on the long trampoline like a reindeer, went down a slide into snow, went down a chimney and made a snow angel.  Then, he went to the rings.  He got to swing and drop, do a somersault and roll down the mats like a crayon.  Next, they went to the big trampoline.  They ended with the parachute and Landon and I got to help with that as well.  He has such a small class and he loves it.  We enjoy watching him and are so proud of him!

Baking Christmas Cookies

On Tuesday morning, we decided to bake our Christmas cookies for Santa.  We made sugar cookies for Landon's party so we have some of those left.  We also dipped pretzels and oreos, made peanut butter kisses, made chocolate chip/ M & M cookies, and made mint chocolate cookies.  Landon and Keegan are old enough now where they can help and love it.  We had a fun morning and everything turned out delicious!

 Dumping in ingredients

 We changed our minds on recipes and Matt and the boys had to make a quick run to the store to get a couple things.  The boys wore their Santa hats for the trip.

Cracking some eggs and finishing up

 Here are a couple of the kinds of cookies we made.  You will see more with our Christmas Eve pics….

Landon's Christmas Party with Friends

Landon had 6 of his friends over from school on Monday for a little Christmas party.  They made crafts, decorated sugar cookies, played games, sang Christmas songs and watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas".  We let Keegan stay up and join in on the fun too.  It was crazy at times, but a fun afternoon!  I think everyone had a good time.

Breakfast with Santa (and friends)

On Sunday, we went to Breakfast with Santa.  We went to this place last year too and it's awesome.  The boys had a blast.  They got their face painted, saw lots of friends and got their pictures taken with them, got balloon hats, and got to sit on Santa's lap.  It was a pretty successful breakfast!
