Christmas Eve Festivities

BB brought Landon over to the house from Sharon's house on Saturday evening to begin our Christmas festivities. 


On Christmas Eve Eve, Philip spent a lot of time writing, BB played with Landon, and I went to lunch with my Brookshire Babes to celebrate Christmas. We had a wonderful time as always, and it was sure nice to catch up!!

On Christmas Eve morning, we facetimed with my parents so my Dad could read the boys, "The True Story of Christmas," a Backes family tradition. Then, Landon and Owen had a few of their baby friends over to decorate cookies for Santa! So much fun!


He listened to part of the story... :) and he enjoyed seeing Popsy, Lolo, Emmy, and Jolie!



Decorating fun!


Tucker loved his cookie!


Baby Cade came too!


James was a master decorator!

Such fun!

Best buddies playing!! 

Everyone loved playing with the felt tree! Thanks again Aunt Sharon!!







After naps, we quickly got dressed and ready for Christmas Eve Mass which started at 4. After church, we came home, ate chili,  and prepared for Santa.

Our first attempt of the night at a family picture! Haha!

Success!
