Christmas Eve - December 24

Christmas Eve, what a great night! We were so blessed to be surrounded by family, have some really excited kiddos, and have an abundance of presents! We started off the evening by making some reindeer food to put out before going to bed. Then, we had Christmas Eve dinner. This year, it was hamburgers as chosen by Eli. Next, we opened presents. The picture of the gift is my gift from the boys, each boy signed the gift with their own tag. So cute! I got a good picture of Eli and Brady hugging each other, being thankful for the gifts they gave each other. Major got a ton of good gifts that he loves...dinosaurs, guns, superheroes, superhero costumes...all things that are right up his alley! Eli and Brady both received some baseball and football cards, Brady got some football players and some fun new outfits, and Eli received some new books he's really excited to read. Bill got some fishing gear he's been waiting for, and I got some fun different coffee blends to try, as well as some great new clothes, jewelry, and shoes! Papa received some golf balls he's been wanting, and Nana got some clothes and gift cards she asked for. It was a really fun evening! After presents, we watched the movie "The Polar Express" and drank hot chocolate and ate popcorn. When the movie ended, we put out milk and candies for Santa, reindeer food on the driveway for the reindeer, and Bill read "The Night Before Christmas" to the boys. I cannot express enough how blessed I truly feel. I could not have asked for anything more on this wonderful Christmas Eve!
