Christmas Eve 2016

Our Christmas Eve wasn't like we hoped for. Usually, the day is all about making Christmas cookies, watching Christmas movies, and so on. We did accomplish watching Christmas movies all day though. And I happened to have stuff for peanut butter cookies, so I whipped some of those up for Santa's arrival. 

We didn't have our typical Christmas Eve due to sickness. Christmas Eve it hit us hard. McKenna got the worst of it, but along with her, McKaila and I weren't feeling too good. With coughs and runny noses, we thought it would be best to skip the making of our normal Christmas cookies so the kids weren't coughing all over them and just spend the day cuddled on the couch, watching movies.

Popcorn and watching the Polar Express



Lambie and McKenna's blankie don't leave her side when she's sick

McKaila made something for Santa and the reindeers and wrote her own note for Santa this year

Ready for Santa and the reindeer

Tradition of reading the night before Christmas. As you see, they were so excited about it 


Even with all the sickness in the house, Christmas Eve was a great day. I mean, what is better then spending the day watching Christmas movies and cuddling with the ones you love? NOTHING!
