Christmas Eve was a seriously wonderful day. I spent the day with kids making gingerbread cookies and cutting out snowflakes. Once Chad got home from work we started preparations for our annual fondue party. The kids sure love this and it is really fun.
After that we opened our new game that we get each year and this year we went with pictionary. It was still a little over their heads but we were able to play it a little bit.
Then it was time for Christmas jammies! Rylee got a sleep sack with snowflakes on it.
Brielle picked out Elsa jammies and was jumping all over the place once she opened them because she was so excited.
Carter and Mollie got two pairs of jammie pants with a t shirt. Mollie was really excited....Carter not so much. He wanted to open a real gift.
Chad and I even got new jammies!
Here they are all dressed for bed.
We finished off the night a little different than normal. We listed to one of my favorite books on YouTube...The Tale of the Three Trees and then instead of reading the nativity story we watched the book of mormon story about it. We sang some songs and read a christmas story. The kids were pretty mellow for it being such an exciting night.
Gosh I love this little family we have created!
They both said they couldn't sleep but passed out within minutes of hitting the pillow. Only a few hours passed when Carter was bright eyed and bushy tailed at 3:00 AM! We have never had to worry about the kids waking up that early so next year we are going to set some rules for sure! Luckily we got Mollie back to sleep and Carter hung out in his room until 4 when he came up again but got him to wait a little longer until 6. Crazy kid!! Stay tuned for Christmas morning!
