Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so fun this year!  The girls are really starting to understand what this Christmas thing is all about and are very excited for it.  And, of course, that excitement is contagious.  

This year, Ella and Emma got to open one present on Christmas Eve.
What is it?

New Jammies!!

We set out Santa's Milk, Cookies, and Peanut Butter Ball:
 And spread the Magic Reindeer Food on the front lawn, so Santa would be sure to find our house.  (They made this at preschool.)  What fun to be sprinkling food on the lawn for the reindeer!


 We then went inside to read "The Night before Christmas" and the true Christmas story from the Bible.

The girls insisted on getting their Bibles to follow along
while I read.
Then it was time to go to sleep, so Santa could deliver the presents.   It took them a little extra time to go to sleep, but they finally did.
Aren't they cute?!?
