Christmas!

Best quote of the Christmas season: Ollie (sounding worried), “Mama, have you ever been caught under mistletoe?”

Finishing our Advent readings.

We decided to make our fanciest cake ever based on all the holiday cooking shows I watch. Presenting a three layer chocolate cake with caramel ganache and candied almond filling and a coffee buttercream  frosting. 

Christmas morning gifts!

Favorite gifts this year included a Nerf gun for Nolan, football gloves for Ollie, and a smart watch for Seth. My favorite was a super cute hippo wallet that Jon picked out. 

Nolan was pretty excited to see he got an echo dot like his bros, too. 

This is also when it was revealed that we would be getting puppies for Christmas! That was a super fun surprise to share. Surprisingly, Ollie freaked out with the most excitement although Noey was a close second. Seth immediately asked when we were getting a turtle. Oye.
