What a busy Christmas Eve!
First we had to bake Santa some cookies.
Although we ate lots of the ingredients in the process.
The kids each got to deocorate a plate of their own gingerbread cookies.
We put together cookies for our neighbors complete with a tag that said "Happy Holidays from your crummy neighbors." Cute huh?
Then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner. But Auntie E showed up with some presents. Thanks E!
We decided last year that it would be jammie Christmas Eve from now on. We are so tired, in fact I even took a power snooze.
Every year my mom, my sister, and I wear matching pajama pants.
Grandma and Grandpa are so excited for Christmas too!
And so is Auntie Amy. You should have seen the load of presents she brought with her tonight!
We left my parents' beautifully decorated home. My mom put out lumenaires and my dad is especially proud of his tree.
We got home and had to sprinkle reindeer food in the driveway so that Santa and the reindeer would remember to stop. We made it this morning.
We also had to leave out cookies and chocolate and white milk for Santa. We also made him some pictures and wrote him some letters today.
And then after we brushed our teeth, we had to check out the Santa tracker so see where Santa was. His last tweet stated that "I just left Jamaica mon!"
I went to 11 o'clock service at church with my mom which I haven't done in years and it was nice. Candlelit too.
The kids were finally asleep and it was time for Santa to come!
Although we gated off thier room, Gracie of course woke up. I hid behind the pink dollhouse and Chuck ran upstairs to get her back to bed. Santa was very good to us this year. I know what you are thinking too...where in the heck are we going to put this stuff???
2013 is our year to finally get a house! I just know it.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
