On Christmas Eve, Steve and I went out for a delicious steak dinner. It's a tradition we've been doing ever since our first Christmas together! We ended up opening all our gifts to each other later that night.
We set out cookies, milk, and a wish list for Santa (with some special requests crayoned-in by Xavier).
Xavier's two-year molars started poking through earlier this week, so he was not in the best mood to travel to my parents on Christmas Day, like we'd planned. Anyone else experience this phase? It's rough, like first day home from the hospital, rough. We still visited Grandma and Grandpa last weekend and opened half his gifts. Adding the Santa gifts to it made for one packed house! By the way, it's amazing how many things parents end up having to build as a result of Christmas! I see a lot more toy building in Steve's future ;)

Xavier loved his train set. I don't know why, but we imagined him playing with it a little differently.
We spent most of the day in our pajamas, listening to Christmas tunes, and hanging out as a family of three!
Earlier this week, Xavier's babysitter threw the kids a lovely Christmas party, complete with Santa traveling for a visit all the way from the North Pole! Xavier wasn't exactly thrilled to meet him!
The kids exchanged their Secret Santa gifts and snacked on candy canes and cookies. Steve and I always think Xavier is such a big boy, but at that party, seeing him around the other kids, he looked so small!
It's been a busy month! I guess that's why they call it the season of hustle & bustle! Xavier had a great time with family and friends!
