Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we always go up to Grandpa John's and Grandma Viki's house. The kids get to get their first gift of the season that day. JJ got lego's and was thrilled. Emma got a barbie and furniture and loved it. Ellie got a new doll called click it and thought it was so cute. Elsie got a new baby walker and didn't know what to think of it, but loved the wrapping paper. Grandma Viki made potato salad with Ellie on the floor. Thanks for everything it was so good to see you and eat the yummo tamales.






Then we come home and eat dinner, open our Christmas pajamas, and watch a Christmas movie with the kids. Our Elf always rings a bell to let us know that it is time to go to bed. This year the coolest thing happened. At the EXACT same moment the bell rang we heard a knock at the door. We go to the door and there is a note that reads "go to your back door." So we run to the back door and open it. There is plate of cookies. We totally forgot to make Santa cookies so the kids are certain that our Elf left them so that Santa would have cookies and we wouldn't have to stay up late to make some. Thank to that Elf. It saved our bahookies. Once we got the cookies out and the carrots on the deck the kids headed off to bed. Jeron and I watch Chrismtmas movies and wrapped presents. Then at 2am we went to bed. We sure hope Santa comes!



JJ has seen A Christmas Story enough times to worry that he just might get bunny pj's like his sisters. I think he was relieved to see the grown up boy stuff.
