Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year. This year was GREAT! We started the day with my friend and her 3 kids coming over since both our husbands worked and we made a huge yummy breakfast. My sister came over after she got off work and so my friend and I went in my room while and wrapped a bunch of presents. We then headed to our first party at my brothers house. We had a huge ham dinner. Everything was so good. We played a few rounds of bingo and all the sudden the door bell rang and we all ran up to find Santa and Mrs Clause there!!!! All the kids got to sit on his lap and got a candy cane. My older 2 had no problem going right up to him. Kamdyn was a little hesitant but once he was on his lap he was fine. Brynlee on the other hand was TERRIFIED!! I decided Mrs Clause might not be as scary for her but boy was I wrong. She cried and shook her head no the whole time she was on her lap. Before they left we all sang Jingle Bells and Silent Night. We then exchanged all our gifts and as they started dessert we loaded the kids up and headed to Kamrins parents house. We got our pjs and exchanged our gifts cause Kamrins sister wasnt going to be there on Christmas. We sang the song we sing every year. Did our traditional toast and when it was his sister Shaless' turn she toasted for their second baby due in June!! Cute way of announcing her pregnancy!! It was truly an amazing night!! Im so blessed to have such an amazing family!!!! I love them all so very much so to be able to spend time with them all in 1 night was the best!!!! When we got home the kids sprinkled the reindeer food outside and off to bed they went so Santa could come bring them lots of toys!!!!!

One of my favorite presents!! This along with 24 Mountain Dews!!
