On Christmas Eve, we started the day going to church for Eve Service:
Then, we went to lunch with Grammie and Great Grandma:
After that, we came home and Addison took a nap while Daddy and Weston goofed off together and then we baked cookies for Santa!
Each year, we also put out reindeer food on Christmas Eve:
This year, while talking with Santa, he shared with us that Dasher really enjoys eating carrots, so of course, we had to leave some carrots out for Dasher!
Next up, was a delicious Christmas Eve dinner! I made a roast and veges and tried a new recipe off of Pinterest for garlic cheddar biscuits...they were delish!
(for this picture, we had to prop the camera on a side table and set the self timer on the camera, so that's why the angle is a little weird!)
On Christmas Eve, it is tradition to each open one present and it is always a new pair of Christmas pajamas!
We did something new this year...on top of the kids Christmas pajama packages, was a "Christmas Express ticket". On the back of the ticket, it explained for the children to go put their PJ's on and to meet us in the garage with their tickets for a special car ride. When they gave me their ticket, I punched smiley faces on them with a hole punch (remember the fun punches on the tickets from the Polar Express?!) and gave them peppermint sweet mints and we drove around in their PJ's looking at Christmas lights in our neighborhood!
And, finally, it was time to put cookies and milk out for Santa, take our traditional Christmas pj pictures, read our Christmas books, and get tucked into bed!
Next up...Christmas day pictures!
