The stockings were hung

Christmas Eve this year was spent with Daniel and Pam and their family. We had yummy chicken pillows and then made cookies for Santa. Abby made a special present for mommy by way of a super blowout. After the children were safely tucked in their beds mom and dad awaitd the arrival of Santa so we could help him set things up. He loved the cookies and milk so much he broke the plate!




The next morning Ryan and abby were the first to wake up so we went into the front room to wait for the girls.




Finally they came down and the real party started. If you are wondering why Jessie is not wearing her jammies, well there was an accident in the night. Oh well thats life I guess. So of course we broke into the stockings first. There was a label maker for mom and pens for dad. The girls got wands for the bathtub, and Ryan got a new truck.










Then we started on the gifts under the tree. There was something for everyone to wear that day. Grandma got us an icecream maker and a super cool scooper. Dad got mom a new dress and some cool baskets for the closet...more on that later. After gifts we had a yummy breakfast and headed to grandmas to hang with the family. What a great end to a wonderful Christmas season. And the last Christmas tradition? Taking down the decorations Christmas day and getting the house ready for the new year.

I have to admit, my heart skipped a beat with excitement when I read "label maker"

What a fun Christmas
