Merry Christmas to All

On Christmas eve we went over to our friends, Todd & Suzann's house for dinner and to reenact the nativity. We also did a fun thing called Christmas pie where everyone has a string that is attached to a present inside of one big present. Everyone pulls their string together and they come out of the big package at once.

When we got home the kids opened their Christmas jammies, then went outside to feed the reindeer special reindeer food (oats with glitter).

Then the kids hung the magical key for Santa to get into our house because we don't have a fireplace.

Eli woke up at 7:30, which is late for him. He ran into our room and said "Santa came! Santa came!" "Did you peek?" "Ummm." Then Spencer had to go get Kenzi out of bed but she was excited once she was fully awake. We ran into the family room and left Gavin sleeping soundly in his bed. It was a ton of fun seeing the kids react to what Santa left for them. It was probably the best reaction yet! We spent all morning opening presents and playing with all of the new toys.

In the afternoon we went and saw The Tales of Despereaux. When it got dark outside the kids got their jammies on and we drove around and looked at Christmas lights while sipping hot cocolate and listening to Christmas music.

We hope you had a great Christmas too! And to all a good night!!!
