Christmas Eve

Sitting here not even a week out from Christmas, I can't believe it's over but yet I also can't believe it was less than a week ago!

We have a lot of little Christmas Eve traditions in this house. We start out the day by going to the Christmas pageant at church. This is the first year in several years I haven't had a pageant participant!

On the way home from church we pick up Char-Grill for lunch. And then it's time to make cookies!

We spent a large portion of the afternoon photobombing pictures. Here is a sampling! My favorite one is where Lindy is photobombing and then Sunshine is photobombing Lindy's photobomb. Follow me???

NaNa and Mimi joined us for a Christmas Eve dinner. We had beef filet, mashed taters, macaroni and cheese, salad and yeast rolls. YUM!

The evening is winding down...yeah right!!! 

First the kids open their traditional Christmas Eve "shared" gift. It was a flashing ornament that they hang on the front door so Santa can find them. 

Now it's time to get Santa's milk and cookies and the food for the reindeer out. The goofballs had to make it chaotic!

Will someone make these 2 go to bed??!?!?!?!?!?!

Finally.....snoring....and Santa and his elves get to work. One elf (ahem, me) fell asleep on the sofa and almost forgot to help out!

Can't wait to see their faces in the morning!!!!!!
