Christmas Eve 2012

We had a great Christmas Eve this year. Although it seems like a  lifetime ago that this all happened :) We took the kids out to dinner, and drove through our towns Festival of Lights, which has become a tradition. The kids have a blast seeing the lights.  Then we headed home and read the Christmas story and talked about the reason for Christmas for a bit. We tracked Santa on Norad, and by now the kids were jumping around excited!

Reagan was too excited to get dressed for a while, and all she would give me was her tongue sticking out.



We decided to open Kenny and Corbyn's gift on Christmas Eve since we knew they kind of had a theme going. And boy was it a good choice!  The kids all got a monster jacket, and Matt and I opened the Tickle Box. Inside was a super cute story about the tickle monster, and some tickling gloves.






3 Monsters.


(Matt's wearing the tickling gloves, it might be hard to see). We spent the next long while tickling each other and laughing hysterically, and the kids wouldn't take off their new jackets. They LOVE them. They still won't take them off.





I love this picture of my girls.






It made for such a fun night.
Then we laid out our stuff for Santa. This year he got fudge and milk, and of course the reindeers got carrots.



One last picture before heading to bed. It was a great Christmas Eve!
