Christmas Eve.....

Well, we woke up to a winter wonderland once again. It will be a very white Christmas!! We stayed indoors most of the day until we ventured out to go get some lunch. It was fun to get out and spend time together. On the way home it started to snow again but we made it home safe. The rest of the day was just us getting ready for tomorrow and taking naps.

We did have a Christmas Family Home Evening. We got out our little manger and talked to the kids about the Christmas story. Christian loved to open up the 'barn' as he called it and talk about the baby. We read 'I believe in Santa' and then the kids got an early present from me. A picture of the Savior so they could put in their rooms to see every day! We just wanted to also remind them that Christmas isn't all about Santa and just presents.

Jingles had a special surprise for the kids. He made a special trip back to Santa to get them their Christmas pj's. They were soooo excited to open another present! And they look so cute in their new pj's.

Excitement is in the air. The kids are so ready for it to be Christmas day. Julia has had about 3 different countdown activities to do this year. She actually woke up this morning and was upset and said "Santa didn't leave any presents, dad?!" We had to tell her that he comes tonight and she wasn't to sad anymore. I can't wait till tomorrow too, just to see their faces when they come out to see what Santa has left them. It makes me excited too! Well, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
