Twas The Night Before Christmas

Maddie was super tired, she was starting to get really whiney. She was actually excited to get to bed because she knew it would come that much faster once she was sleeping.
Dylan was the one who fought sleep for the longest. He wanted to see Santa really bad, but he finally gave in. What a sweet little face.

Macy actually feel asleep the second her head hit the pillow. She was looking out in the living room through her headboard and the next second she was fast asleep.


Here the crew is aranging the cookies for Santa. Dylan decided he needed one for himself too.




Macy and Maddie were fighting over where to put the food for the reindeer.



A few of our traditions are feeding the reindeer every Christmas Eve. The kids make a mix of oatmeal, glitter and sprinkles. Then they go outside and sprinkle it around for them to eat. We also left out the cookies for santa on our special plate meant just for that, Nana got it for us of course. Then they were off to bed, while we still had much work to do. It is 1:00am and we are finishing up for the night. I have the table set with our formal dinnerware so we can have a special breakfast. The kids are all fast asleep in their beds, all snuggly in their blankets from Nana. I can hardly wait for morning. It is a whirl wind day but we end up at Mike's parents and it is so laid back and relaxing their and we will be spending the night and all of the next day so that will be really fun. Merry Christmas everyone and God Bless you.
