It was so hard to get in the Christmas spirit this year because the entire month of Dec felt like it flew by in 3 days that each were 65+ degrees and warm! Either way, Santa was coming so we made sure to get some cookies for him! And we made sure that there were plenty of sprinkles for Santa and his reindeer!
Every year since I was little we've always gotten to open one package on Christmas Eve and, sometime around when I was 10, I finally caught onto the fact that every year that box held jammies. We've continued that tradition with the girls (and still with J and myself because it is fun!) and the girls were excited to open one box early. I think they would have preferred toys but they were excited with new jammies.
They were especially excited once the Spiderman and pink bunny slippers were unwrapped!
Starting about 5pm both girls, who normally HATE to go to bed, were begging to go to sleep. They knew Santa wasn't coming until they were bed so they were willing to go bed as soon as their jammies were on. It was a challenge to keep them up and not fighting until 7pm. If I didn't know that a 5pm would have had us all awake at 3am I would have tucked them in early and done a dance!
The girls made sure to leave plenty of cookies for Santa.
The girls made reindeer food at preschool and we made sure to sprinkle it in the yard.
Jared has been adamant that Max will never wear any type of hat, bow, clothes, etc. All that is totally fine with me but he's such a pain about it my brother and I put several big bows on Max. Jared came down and was not impressed!
See those scissors in his hand? Max's bows did not last long. The little girls were in bed by 7:30, the guys went to a movie and were home by 8:30. We had stockings stuffed, presents out and dinner eaten before 10pm and went to bed to wait on Santa!
