Christmas Eve

Every Christmas Eve we have a party at Grandma Bonnie's house. It is my favorite!! Santa Clause always comes and brings a present for each of the kids. The girls got jewelry and Tuff got a remote control car. The kids all sat on Santa's lap, Olive wouldn't go near him at the mall. Before Santa was at the mall Olive had seen the set up where Santa was going to be and she knew that you ask Santa for EVERYTHING that you want. So she picks things up and tells me "I have to ask Santa." and I tell her yes. So then she added "I have to ask Santa with a big hug and a kiss?" and I tell her yes. Well then I am trying to get her to tell that to Jason and she tells me that Santa is in his kennel. I thougt that it was so funny that she thought that the big gate around the Santa Clause scene was a kennel.

Then we came home and made cookies for santa and wrote him letters.






We know the secret to lots of presents from Santa, he LOVES cheese and we have to leave him some bubbly and carrots for the reindeer. So far this has worked every year. But it's not time for bed yet....














We have to watch the Polar Express first. We made a train out of pillows and drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. Then off to bed, too bad Jason had so much "paper work" to do the night before Christmas. He got home at midnight and Tuff was up at two. But he woke us up so we could hear the reindeer hooves on the roof and man you could hear them really good in the trailer.
