Both my brothers were headed to their in-laws for Christmas day. So our family had dinner on Christmas Eve together. They had to get a picture of the very nicely wrapped ornament Tommy wrapped for Grandma and Grandpa.

Making a Bird House for Dad
The boys and I have been saving a bunch of construction materials that were left over from our house building. They finally got to use some today. We made a bird house for Eric for Christmas. They helped pick out materials that would work. We didn't want to bug Eric house to build it so we used a hand saw to cut a few pieces. That is the part that took the longest. Then I preset the nails for them and they hammered them in. Once we were all done we painted it. Then we put a few suet feeders on the sides. They were very proud of their finished work all from recycled materials.
My Precious
Jessi decided she was going to take over the presents this year. So we had to strategically stack them to make them less appealing. Tommy also used some cat nip to try and lure her out from under the tree. Silly cat.

Second Wrestling Meet
The boys had their second wrestling meet today out in Puyallup. It was a super foggy trip out there but I am glad we made it as it was a good night of wrestling. Both kids won two of their three matches. Jake wrestled Finn and lost by a close decision. He then won on points in his second match. He had a much anticipated 3rd match as it was close to the end of the night and he was wrestling a very tall 12 year old. He did great and seemed to really be having fun with it. The other kid wasn't super happy to losing to a 9 year old, but we have to live and learn from each match. Tommy had 2 overtime matches. He won the first one and then last to Lovella in the second one. He also had a pin in his third match but I missed it. Overall a great night.

Santa at the Eagles
We went up to the Eagles to see Santa and get pictures. The boys also enjoyed the hot cocoa and Rudolph pancakes.
