Day 24: Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we allow the kids to pick one gift that is under the tree (prior to Santa's arrival) and open it before they go to bed.  Also we make sure to leave out cookies and milk for Santa as well as 9 big carrots for his reindeer (including Rudolph).

Picking out which gift to open

Josh found his

I made them wait till I could take a picture

The blanket I made her... she was so happy

Patrick loved his "Buzz" Tag Jr.

Checking it out while daddy opened it

While we were distracted... Josh attacked other gifts under the tree...
he was a gift monster

Cuddling with her new blanket... so warm!

Washing carrots for the reindeer

Milk and cookies for Santa... and for Lillie & Patrick too
