Porter and I decorated this gingerbread house together. It was a premade kit because I had already made a whole bunch of gingerbread for the Trail Center's gingerbread display.
Peyton, like any toddler, has been playing with all of the Christmas Tree ornaments, which thankfully are not breakable.
Lynn has been sporting the sweetest looking sweaters. Here is the one we found at The Salvation Army for an "Ugly Sweater" party. So much fun!
We decided that we were going to have a little Christmas morning of our own so that we could give the kids the presents that wouldn't fit in the suitcases to go to Grandma and Grandpa's.
Porter enjoyed this Star Wars ornament from Peyton.
The boys are always wanting me to built forts or tents, so we got them this igloo tent. Peyton especially loves it. Porter said, "I always wanted one of these!"
Lynn made us breakfast bacon, eggs, English muffins, and juice!
This is the quilt that I made for Lynn. I decided that I wasn't going to spend any money on his present, so I got some old jeans and tee shirts and this is what the finished product looks like.
Here is Porter opening his and Peyton's Spiderman scooter. We decided to get them a few presents that they can share so that they don't get too possessive of their things. So far it's worked out great!
Now that we've had a Pre-Christmas with our own little family, we are ready to spend the real Christmas day with extended family!

Awesome quilt Erin!
You are so talented... look at that quilt! I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas!
Wow on the quilt. besides talent, that must have taken a lot of time and love! I bet that's a present both you and Lynn will appreciate this cold winter and the winters to come! I love the igloo tent too.
Looks like fun! We will also be doing a little mini-Christmas here after we get back from our Christmas vacation to DE. I did a T-shirt quilt for Drew (with the help of my mom) the first year we were married - my mom has made one for each of her kids as the Christmas gift during their freshman year in college. I like how you also used jeans with your quilt and saved on fabric! Hope you have a great Christmas!
Hey there Erin! It is fun seeing your 2 adorable boys on your blog! It sounds like you had a fun pre-Christmas and had great ideas for gifts. You are so creative and talented making that quilt! Check out my blog davidheathernielson.blogspot.com and hopefully we can keep in touch!
