Christmas Eve

I LOVE living so close to family, especially during the holidays.

 

We spent the night at my moms house the night before Christmas Eve so we could wake up Christmas Eve and have a HUGE breakfast.

 

It was so much fun and the food was super yummy.

 

After Breakfast we baked cookies, decorated cookies, decorated our gingerbread house and train.

 

That night we went to our dear friends house for their annual Christmas Eve party and it was a blast as usual.

 

Fabulous company, amazing food, the kids had a blast, and they got to see Santa.

 

We left the party early to make sure we got home in time to put out cookies for Santa, let the kids open a present and then read a Christmas story before bed. Didn't get any pictures of that because we were enjoying it way too much to pull out a camera. Both Marcus and Teny were so excited to put the cookies out and read the Christmas story.

 

 

After we put them to bed we went crazy with getting everything together. Seriously it took us over an hour to put together their play kitchen. Who knew play kitchens were so difficult to put together and seriously why cant they put the stickers on when they make them. I had the hardest time EVER placing the stickers on. lol. But we finally did it and finished wrapping Santa gifts and we called it a night.

 

It was an amazing Christmas eve. Despite Marcus and myself being sick we both pushed along and had a great day. Like I said before I love living near family especially during the holidays because I know this Christmas would not have as amazing as it was without them. =)
