We had a fun, full day on Christmas Eve! We finished decorating our mini-advent tree with its last ornament, and moved our candy cane on Santa's beard to just one more sleep until Christmas. We finished reading from our 24 days of Christmas book. We went to the mall to get the kids' picture taken with Santa, ate yummy poutine for lunch, and did a bit of shopping. We made cookies for Santa, and two Christmas Eve casseroles for Christmas day breakfast. We went to see the lights on Taffy Lane.
While we were gone, the Christmas Eve Elf came and brought us gifts- new pj's like he brings every year as well as a new tri-pod for our camera for all the photo taking on Christmas morning! We watched The King is Born from Living Scriptures and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas from Rankin-Bass. We had family prayer. The kids had their traditional slumber party.
Except for Macy, she slept in her crib.
The other six sprawled out in the basement.
Gavin on the chaise lounge.
Noé and Kaleb on the air mattress.
Hiram, Teague, and Ali on the sectional and hide-a-bed.
Sweet dreams sweet babies!
We left fresh oatmeal scotchies out for Santa and waited for him to come and work his magic!
