Christmas Eve

The boys and I stayed home on Christmas eve, while Dad went to work for part of the day. I made lots of food for Christmas Day lunch with Gran and Pa, but we will have plenty for leftovers the whole weekend. We cleaned up and made room for the new toys we just knew Santa was bringing and that we would be getting from our family.

Archer and I are both not feeling so hot. We both have some awful sounding coughs.

The boys were allowed to open one presents...that Mommy picked out. Surprising enough they were pajamas....and they MATCHED. Wow and just in time for a picture in front of the tree. Who could have planned that any better?!?



We took a quick ride around the neighborhood to look at all the Christmas lights.

Christian had informed me earlier that evening that we need to leave food out for the reindeer. Well we didn't have any food specifically for reindeers, but we think they liked the apple and corn flakes we left for them.


Then we made Santa a couple of cookies. Christian dictated a note to me and then he signed the note...he also signed Archer's note for him too.
I thought it was sweet when we asked Christian where we should put the cookies and milk, he said by the manger. hmmm maybe he really does get the true meaning of Christmas at 3.
