First Graves Family Christmas

Now that we have two little boys, one of which really gets excited about Christmas and understands all the festivities, we decided to do our own family Christmas together before we traveled this year. So far, I have loved the sweet, quiet day of making memories together!

Lucas concentrated really hard to color a picture for Santa and write him a note to go with his cookies.


Sweet Finn is now 10 weeks old! Can you believe it? He is wearing all 3-6 month clothing now, he smiles and coos when mommy talks to him--especially in the morning. We moved him to his crib this week, and the first night was pretty hard but he has done great ever since. He only gets up around 4-5:30 to eat and then 7:30-8 for the day which makes a huge difference for mom.


I did the portable north pole movie again this year (highly recommend!!) and it was so so sweet. Lucas was in awe, of course mommy teared up :) Santa even showed Lucas pictures of meeting his new little brother and his 2nd birthday party. Although if you ask Lucas, he is not 2, he is 4. Who knows! 


The (4) stockings were hung by the chimney with care!

Kisses under the tree.  



Merry Christmas! Santa brought gifts to both brother's chairs for them.
 Lucas was most excited about his Thomas rain boots, he has waited a long time to wear them!
 Chef Lucas and Mommy made a Christmas breakfast. Cooking with a toddler means twice the mess, but about 5 times the fun!
 Thank you Pinterest for our breakfast fun ideas!


 I asked Lucas to say our prayer for breakfast and to remember to thank God for sending Jesus to us. Lucas proceeded to sing "Happy Birthday to Jesus" and ended with "Amen". 



Merry Christmas from the brothers!
