Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a busy day for us! We did a lot of baking and cooking to get ready for Christmas dinner here at our house the next day. My wonderful husband helped with the kids and in the kitchen so we could get it all done. That afternoon we delivered some baked goodies to our neighbors and then attended the Christmas Eve service at our church. We made it through the service, but the kids were a little restless. I resorted to bribing them with orange lifesavers to keep them quiet. ;) On the way home we drove through some of our neighborhood and looked at some beautiful Christmas lights. Then it was back to the house to get ready for Santa.

Here they are getting the snacks ready for Santa. We convinced Kyle that Santa loves chocolate milk and double stuff Oreos!

Haley was getting tired and ready for bed. You know me - I just needed to take a few more pictures!

Matching pajamas!

Goofing around...

Haley was trying to be cute and wanted to take a picture with the cookies, but when we turned around she tried to eat them. Sneaky already!

Here is our last picture of the night. Meltdown at bedtime.
(This is how I felt at about midnight!)
