Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Cronk family!
With Christmas being a Monday this year, we had some down time during the weekend leading up to Christmas. We had a fun Saturday playing games and getting ready for Christmas.
Trevor wore the Santa hat he made at preschool and built a sleigh out of chairs and blocks. He even put play shopping carts and strollers in front to be reindeer.  What a cutie!
Saturday evening, we enjoyed the Snook Family Lights at Bob and Judy's house. They do an amazing Christmas light display set to music at their home. They even popped out to the car to say "hi" and bring the kids candy canes. Thanks Bob and Judy! Trevor and Austin had fun popping their heads out the sunroof to watch the lights.


On Sunday, it was Christmas Eve.  We got dressed up and headed to Mass.
 After Mass, we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, like we did last year.
After dinner, we had HUGE slices of cheesecake all around!
Godiva chocolate cheesecake for Sarah
A peanut butter swirl one for Austin (It had peanut butter cups, Butterfinger, Reese's pieces, and chocolate in it!)
 Trevor had an Oreo cheesecake
Mine was salted caramel and Steve had lemon meringue. YUM!

Then home to get ready for Santa!

Christmas morning! Jesus is born!
Excitedly coming down the stairs to see what Santa brought!
Looks like they may have been close to the naughty list - they got "lumps of coal" in their stockings!

The tree all decked out in gifts!
Nanny and Grandpa loved their gifts! yay!
"Joe's Bar and Grill"

Austin was excited to get Yahtzee!  He learned how to play it when we were visiting Gramma and PopPop last summer.
And a dinosaur game for my dinosaur and shark obsessed preschooler!
The mini basketball game from Gramma and PopPop was a hit!
Running the Cars 3 racetrack
Some lively games of foosball! Thanks Nanny and Grandpa!
Sarah working on some designs on her new Spirograph.
We had family over for Christmas dinner.  I bought 2 gingerbread houses with all the fixings for the kids to decorate and they had a blast!
Ha! Caught Sarah sneaking some candy!
Look at these amazing creations!
We had a delicious dinner and time with family - what a wonderful day of celebrating Jesus's birth!
