Christmas Eve Festivities

The kids decorated their cookies for Santa. They had a lot of sprinkles on them! I told them tey were probably going to make Santa's tummy sick!

Christmas Eve came in with a vengeance, by dumping lots of white snow, over the foot of snow we already had. At first, we thought we would have to cancel our festivities, but we braved the snow, and had a good time. It is very rare for this area to have a White Christmas. We were planning on having a Progressive Dinner, starting at our house, going to Jeremy and Monique's, and ending at Grandma and Grandpa's, but, because of the weather, we did just one house. We had lots of yummy food, and everyone got to open 1 traditional Christmas present. It was fun, and a good kick-off to the mayhem of Christmas day that followed.

Playing a mean game of Ticket to Ride, and snacking on the appetizers. (Look at Mo's cute belly! I hope I look like that at 24 weeks!)

Opening their gift. Sam and Tay both got little pony villages from Aunt Jessi

Grandma made all the kids these Christmas Eve crowns. Rohne got some jewelry too. Here he is displaying the cool Planet Hero he got from Jer & Mo.

When we got home, we let the kids open their new pajamas to wear to bed that night.

"Do you think Santa will mind if I eat just one?"
