The Sunday before Christmas while the twins napped we put together my mom's gingerbread house kit, in preparation of putting together the gingerbread train kit that I had brought up from home. Jacob helped a little bit, but he wasn't all that interested. Then we never got to the gingerbread train.

On Christmas Eve, we decorated edible Christmas trees. I don't remember if Jacob was into it or not. Joel definitely enjoyed eating his tree and Jeremy wasn't a big fan of the activity at all.

 |
| I think Jacob enjoyed eating the M&M's more than anything else |
 |
| Joel says "Mmm - yummy" |

That evening the boys got to open up new pajamas and then we drove around my parents' neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. We didn't drive around for long, but I think all the boys really liked it.

That night, Santa came! (Santa decided to bring the boys almost all their gifts because they were a little difficult for us to wrap - thank you Santa!)

We were all super spoiled and got lots of goodies.
That afternoon the cold weather paid off and we got a white Christmas in Texas!!! The boys loved running around in the snow - especially Jacob.

Even though I felt pretty miserable thanks to the flu, overall it was a good Christmas.
