Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve has finally arrived!  We have waiting for this today for what feels like an eternity.  Each Christmas Eve we have Mama Bear and Papa Bear over to exchange gift and celebrate. This year, though, Aunt Mo and Marcy came too!

Here are the kiddos waiting for the festivities to begin and being silly.

I'm not sure what's going on here...

Finally...the first gift of Christmas to be opened!! It was a huge remote control Jeep from Mama Bear and Papa Bear!

The kids had to put on their pajamas and get ready for Santa and then the Christmas celebration continued.

Mama Bear and Papa Bear gave Cassidy a tutu, wings and antennae so she could dress up like a lady bug (or as Diddy Bug).  Super cute!

After all the gifts were opened, we got our cookies ready for Santa!  He got cookies and milk.  We leave carrots for Rudolph too.

Before going to bed, we had to do one more thing.  We had to put reindeer food outside!  The reindeer food has sparkles in it so the reindeer will see it and land at our house.  While they wait for Santa to "do his thing" they can enjoy a snack too.

They did a great job making sure Santa and his sleigh made a stop at our house!

Now it's off to bed!  The excitement is off the charts!!
