Christmas Eve 2014

We had a busy Christmas Eve this year. We woke up to a surprise from our elf , Christopher.  He had to get back to the North Pole to help out Santa but he wanted to leave us a little gift to keep us busy.

After breakfast, we had a couple errands to run. Mike took the kids to do some last minute shopping and I braved the grocery store to stock up of groceries for the next few days.  Then we were back home for some lunch and fun.  We spent some time making some foam crafts (sorry no pics)  and building the new Christmas village lego set.

We made and decorated Santa some sugar cookies.

We did some cleaning and other non fun stuff and then we had a yummy dinner of Christmas shaped pasta. There were snowmen, snowflakes, sleighs and reindeer in the mix. Super fun.

Then it was finally time to open the Christmas Eve box from Mom and Dad.

Inside everyone got a new pair of PJ's, one small toy and a couple Christmas movies to get us to bedtime.

We watched some movies and they were all beat from such a busy day and went to bed early.  What a fun and exhausting day it was!
