Merry Christmas Eve!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

Christmas Eve, means making Christmas cookies!

 I think the kids were more excited then ever to make cookies this year, since last year, the kids were sick that I ended up just whipping up some candy kiss cookies for Santa. 

 Now that the kids are getting older they want to help out with every bit of the baking process. Usually, the baking process is a little easier, but we don't have any of our stuff, so we had to make do with what we could find in the cupboards. The kids had fun either way!

This year, we didn't make as many cookies as we usually do. Most of the time, I have to throw out most of them, so we kept the cookie count to a small number. They had fun decorating the cookies either way and knew right away which ones were going to be for Santas plate.

McKaila took this picture and thought it was so funny that the tree topper made me look like I had horns

Very typical in our household

We were invited to have Christmas Eve dinner at Courtney's bosses house, which is the house directly behind the house we are staying in currently. Their daughter is 7 so the girls bonded right away with her and Logan had a blast hanging out with the boys. 

When we got home the kids put on their pjs from Dilly the Elf and put out their cookies and chex mix. Then we sat down as a family and read "The night before Christmas" 

I love making all these holiday memories with the kids every year. It truly makes my heart so happy!
