It's Christmas Eve!

It's been as busy Christmas Eve here in the Ouren household....which means mostly for me. I woke up bright and early with a bit of a cold but decided it wasn't going to get me down and went to work right away making homemade cinnamon rolls. After that I followed up with a batch of chocolate chip cookies, some hot chocolate cookies and then some sugar cookies for the boys to decorate. On top of that I cooked a bit of a traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls and veggies. After dinner was over and cleaned up we gave the boys and Faith their new Christmas jammies and then let them at the sugar cookies to decorate up a storm.


Zaric would put a few drops on each cookie, tell us he was done and move on to the next one.

Zaden would decorate his and then promptly eat it.

And Caleb showed a lot of effort and creativity this year with his. We were impressed.

Faith mostly watched and got packed around and then played on the floor for a bit.

I gave Mike the task of getting a pic of the boys in their Christmas jammies....this is as good as it got.

We loaded up a plate of cookies for the big man. And we snuggled and watched some of the 24 hours of Christmas Story on TBS.

We just sent the kids to bed and asked Caleb to sleep in the boyz room with them so we can all get up together in the morning. Looking forward to less time in the kitchen tomorrow and more time lounging and playing.
