Christmas Eve

The morning of Christmas Eve the kids found Ralphie hanging on our Christmas countdown.

We packed a lot into Christmas Eve. Ben got home the day before so we ran to Idaho Falls so he could finish up his shopping.

 

We got home and the big kids played in the snow and spread their magic reindeer food.

Every Monday night is pizza night at our house so we made homemade pizzas.



We let the kids open their Christmas Eve presents.

We always get them new jammies.

 

This year superheros are a pretty big deal at our house so Slade and Madie both got Batman PJ's with CAPES!!! Seriously why didn't jammies have capes when I was a kid?

Then we made some Grinch juice and watched the Grinch.

 

Santa really Struggled to get into our house this night.

THESE KIDS WOULD NOT GO TO BED!

After Madie got up for the third time Daddy had to lay down with her so that she would stay in her bed long enough for Santa to come - not an easy task when the Christmas tree could be seen from her bed.
