Christmas at Last!!!

After counting down for 25 whole days on their calendar, the boys were definitely ready for Santa's big arrival.  Lance literally FLEW into bed on Christmas Eve- he was so worried that Santa would catch him awake that I had to convince him it would be okay to go to the bathroom before bed.

Nini was here, which made our day even more special.

Kiran's favorite present, by far, was his very own backpack- he is SO proud to have a big boy backpack like his brother!

Lance was mostly impressed by his new bball hoop and his cowboy gear... He also presented his first handmade gift- a beautiful candle that he decorated with beeswax at school.

Stef scored big time with the full beard that he's been waiting for since his early 20's.

A big highlight of the day was talking to our families and friends on facetime... so amazing to live in an era where this is possible- it definitely makes the distance somewhat easier to bear!
