On Christmas Eve we gathered at Lucian's parents for a meal and gift exchange. Claire loves to take photos as you can see. I even promised her a cookie if she smiled.
Kyle enjoyed the buffet.

That night we put out a cookie and chocolate milk for Santa. Kyle was into it, but Claire had fallen asleep on the ride home. She stayed behind the camera and reminded us to put out carrots for the reindeer.
Santa left presents for the kids which we started opening around 7am. This was actually sleeping in for us, so we were happy. It was really fun to watch Claire experience the holiday this year. She wanted to make or get gifts for several people. She tried to keep their gifts a secret and helped with the wrapping.
Kyle was happy with the first gift he opened. We tried to keep him going, but Claire ended up opening most of his gifts.
Christmas day we hosted my family at our house. It was nice not to drag the kids anywhere and everyone pitched in with the food.
For my gift, Lucian secretly photographed my wedding dress and his wedding tux jacket together and framed it. I love the image and the fact that he was able to pull it off!
