I have roughly 350 pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so I thought I would spread them out a bit. Here's part one!
I love Christmas Eve. Growing up, we had a lot of traditions for this day, and I have tried hard to keep many of them and start some new ones for my boys. This year we went downtown and did some last minute shopping at Circle Centre Mall, followed by a morning at the Children's Museum. After naps, we had an early dinner with my family, followed by evening church service. Then home to open Christmas jammies (matching, of course!), a new ornament for both boys, and their gifts to each other. We put out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer, left out our stockings, then off to bed!
Then Santa and his helpers waited for Griffin to fall asleep. We waited, and waited, and waited. Finally around 10 p.m. he was out, and the real work began. It took over two hours to get a few last-minute toys assembled and everything out and organized. We had gifts for both boys, each other, as well as 10 other family members. Our tree was loaded down! This year I ordered Santa bags for them, and they are SO cute. I love the way they look.
We were very tired when we finally got to sleep after midnight, but excited for the morning to come!!
