the night before christmas

christmas eve was a success! a quiet day and evening with our little family of three. 

 

ryan's favorite chicken cordon bleu hand pounded by him and prepared by yours truly. comfy new pajamas and a new christmas movie {alvin and the chipmunks this year} on ryan's new christmas present, conveniently delivered earlier that day. 

i guess it was too fragile for santa's sleigh? ho, ho, ho ry. this counts for your next six christmases. 

the christmas lights twinkled and holiday music resonated throughout the house. ryan even recited "the night before christmas" for a sleepy, sleepy leah. i think it was about as perfect as the layton house is ever gonna get. and i loved every second.
