Christmas Eve

We were invited to our neighbor's house to spend Christmas Eve.  The kids were so excited to get to celebrate with Jordan!  J and I were happy to celebrate with her Mom and Dad too.

We had quite the array of foods and snacks to nibble on throughout the evening, and they were all so good!

We let the kids wear their Christmas pajamas.

Cassidy and her idol, Jordan.

We also exchanged gifts, which was perfect for anxious little ones on Christmas Eve.  Stetson received a Yoda hat, spy sunglasses, and lots of other little goodies.  Just for the record, he slept with his Yoda hat on because he loved it so much.

Cassidy got this Cinderella doll, a Cinderella snow globe and a princess flashlight.  Another huge hit.

We gave Jordan a snow globe ornament and lots of jewelry.

After opening gifts, Amy had everything for the kiddos to decorate cookies for Santa.  Great idea!

It was getting late after all these activities were complete, so the kids decided to see where Santa was.  They all got on the computer and tracked his progress on Nexrad.

Lastly, we had reindeer food for Santa.  Jordan, Stetson, and Cassidy all spread the reindeer food in the street between our houses so they knew exactly where to land.

Finally, it was time to go back to our house and prepare for Santa's arrival.  We put out the brownies we made earlier in the day, the cookies they decorated tonight, a little plate of a cookie and M&Ms for Pickles (our elf), and celery for the reindeer.  I think they will all enjoy the goodies!

Merry Christmas Eve!!
