Christmas Eve


For the past 4 years we have spent Christmas Eve with our friends the Barfusses.  We eat dinner together (pizza, yum!), play games, exchange presents and act out the nativity.  This year Sarah and Makayla wanted to be the angels, Kathryn was Mary and Maddi the donkey, Seth was Joseph with Logan being Herod/wiseman/shepard.  We tried to get Luke to participate and all he wanted to be was Lightening McQueen.  When I wouldn't let him be that he went off crying and the picture is of me trying to get a picture of him crying but he was running away and getting really mad at me, I thought it was hilarious.

This is all the kids showing off their presents from the exchange.  They love picking something out for their friend and get so excited to see if they will like it.

This year we made reindeer food to sprinkle on the grass so Santa's reindeer would be able to find us.  The kids loved sprinkling it, then it was off to open our pajamas.  This has been a tradition in my family since we were little kids.   Back then my mom would always make them, but I just by them.

We then got Santa's note all ready and the kids were off to bed and hopefully to sleep!
