Christmas Eve

So it's 1am & I should be sleeping before I have a tiny person standing bedside in a few hours ready to tell me what Santa brought him...

But I thought if I didn't work on/post pictures from our Christmas Eve, I wouldn't get to it until after all the chaos of Christmas is over/organized/packed up.

So before I head to bed, here's a beautiful recap of our morning.  I got to love on my favorite little Nolan, all boys were happy & it was just a beautiful way to celebrate.  If Connor was home, it would have been perfect.  

I just love our family.

 {Everyone look at the "Winkel")

Oh good gracious, is he not absolutely perfect?!?!

 

Here's to a slow paced, easy Christmas day.  And my Connor will be home at noon--I can not wait!!

Merry Christmas!

Another reason why I'm the World's Best Mom...

I like dogs, but I do what makes my kids happy....

And surprised them with this for Christmas...

{Seuss ran away about a month ago...don't go thinking I have two cats.  One is enough}

Meet Phoebe.  Pheebs for short.

We surprised Noah with her today & he declared, "Today is the best day of my entire life".

She plays, she snuggles, she purrs the moment you pet her...

She's exactly what he had ever hoped for.

Connor will be home Christmas Day & we can't wait to surprise him too!

My amazing friend, Annie, fostered her & has helped me keep her a secret for the boy's Christmas gift.  She's about 3 months old & is so far one of the best, friendliest cats I've ever been around.

Hallelujah!

Tis' the season...

I officially finished my LAST photo session before Christmas!

Wahooooooooooooo!

I literally took 5 mins & threw this card together, so we have one :).

Merry Christmas!

We're throwing pajamas on the boys & heading out to our fave holiday light display.
