Christmas with the Zumwalts

Christmas morning is always spent eating breakfast with Nana and Papa. We head over there after the kids open their stockings. It is tradition for Nana to make omelettas for everyone. They are like crepes which they roll up with fruit toppings and syrup. Soooooo good! But Nana is usually standing at the stove making them for over an hour! And she can't make them fast enough for her boys to eat :) So, this year she decided we would all learn how to make them. And give her a little break :) To be honest, I was very nervous. Jeff is obsessed with a few recipes of his mom's. And this is one of them! But I think I did ok :)

They are eating them!

Nana had a cute ornament craft for the kids to do.

It was a special Christmas!

Santa came!!!

Santa made a visit to the Zumwalt house! We got in so late the night before! But we helped Emma sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn :) But poor Santa. We didn't even leave him milk and cookies this year!

Christmas with the Smith's

Every Christmas Eve, we celebrate Christmas with the Smith's! We look forward to seeing everyone on this special night! We celebrated this year at my Uncle Jay and Aunt Karen's house. Karen put so much thought into the kids' table. It was so special for them!

These two crazy boys brought their marshmellow guns!

We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. Karen had made each child their own little birthday cake!

Jay read the Christmas story to the family.

We had a family talent show this year. That is why Noah has a mustache. I don't have pictures. But Jeff is working on video. So, I will get it up soon :)

It was a wonderful night! Thank you Jay and Karen for planning such a special celebration!
