Christmas Eve we spent with Justin's family. Every year we participate in "Sled Races", a kid/adult white elephant gift exchange and a kid/man/woman gift exchange we drew names for. It's always a lot of fun with a lot of people and a lot of food!
We make sleds out of candy bars/boxed candy and candy canes. We came in 3rd place this year
Back at home we unwrapped pajamas, told the Christmas Story to our boys (flannel board) and went for a drive to look at lights and watch for Santa. 
Christmas Morning we have family prayer then venture off to see what Santa brought!
Estin was SOOOO excited Santa brought him a train table! We had to cover it with a blanket and have him open his other presents first, but once he discovered there was something UNDER the blanket there was NO stopping him! We hardly saw him the rest of the day!
Eli loved his toys too! 
My Grandma, Doris Nelson, handmade this piece (0ne of DOZENS she's done). Each stitch is an INCREDIBLE amount of time and love. Justin had it framed for me with a name plate "Doris H. Nelson. Hardanger" (The name of the stitch is hardanger). He couldn't have done anything sweeter....
Except maybe this... he typed 15 pages (single space) of our love story. How we met, how we fell in love, firsts... such as holding hands etc. Could I ask for anyone better!!! He REALLY outdid himself this year and was paying attention when I told him that I just wanted his gifts to come from the heart.
