Christmas Eve

We hung out at home all morning, and then headed down to Owatonna to spend Christmas Eve with great-grandma and the whole family. It was a lot of people, and without a nap, Xander was pretty wound up by the end of the evening. Thankfully, there were lots of cousins to keep him entertained. He slept the whole way home and only took a few minutes to get back to sleep once we got him in the house. Fortunately, we changed himinto his PJs before we left grandma Billie's house, so he was all ready for bed.


Melissa kept Xander playing, which was a nice break for us!

great-grandma gave Xander the cutest stuffed elephant, which is even more special because it is a fund raiser for St. Jude's hospital!
Once Xander was tucked in all snug, daddy went to work, helping Santa out by putting the new play kitchen together. It came with lots of pieces and screws!

Chris said it was fairly easy to put together, but I made him a cup of hot chocolate to make it a bit easier on him
