With so many days off before it came, it seemed like Christmas Eve took forever to come this year. But the good news it that it came! Here's a peek at Faith's festive outfit of the day. Too cute.
Poor Zaric got sick on us and spent the morning at the Dr's office with Dad. And most of the day sleeping like this.
But that didn't stop us from having some fun on the in between nap times when he felt good enough to join us. We spent a lot of time decorating cookies for Santa.
Here are a few of our results.
Of course Dad had to show us up and create this master piece.
After cookies we spent some time tidying up and cleaning the house. I have always heard that Santa doesn't like to come to dirty houses and I believe that to be true. So the kids pitched in and helped. Then it was time for Mom to cook a nice dinner. We had chicken on a beer can (well Pepsi can for us) and it turned out wonderful. This is a nice looking bird if I do say so myself. For sides, we had roasted rosemary red potatoes, peas, rolls, cranberries and olives. Then for dessert, cookies, cherry pie and cheesecake.
After we got dinner cleaned up it was finally dusk and time to do what Caleb had been waiting for all day. Open 1 present. Mom and Dad had put together this box for them and placed it under the tree. It was driving him crazy for days.
Inside were their Christmas jammies, a new Christmas book and 2 new Christmas movies to watch that night.
Faith wouldn't hold still with the boys long enough for the pic, but these are her new ones.
After we got all jammied, we settled in and read the new book along with Caleb reading us Twas the Night Before Christmas. Then we picked one of the new movies to watch. We ended the night with a little more play time and making a plate of cookies for Santa along with apple slices and carrots for the reindeer.
Then it was off to bed while Mom and Dad watched a movie alone and waited for Santa to come.
