Christmas Eve was an exciting day at our house. That morning, we took the kids for a swim at the YMCA-might as well occasionally use our membership. The afternoon brought gingerbread shape baking with Andy. That evening, we went over to our neighbors' house for dinner, conversation and a Christmas movie for the kids. The boys were so excited, I even got them to change their sheets before bedtime. They picked out snacks for Santa and the reindeer-hence the orange and grapes. Then they went to bed.
Santa and his reindeer enjoyed eating the snacks.
The kids hang their stockings on door knobs throughout the downstairs instead of over the fireplace. A couple reasons: our television is on top of the fireplace so there is not room for stocking holders, I would hate for chocolate candy in the stocking to be melted by the fireplace
The presents wrapped and under the tree. I like to use Santa Claus wrapping paper on their Santa presents. I have to say that Santa did a great job this year of buying presents a little bit at a time since July and was ready to go a couple days before Christmas. First time that Santa wasn't feeling panicked heading into December. I love doing all this prep work for my kids to enjoy their Christmas morning.
