Christmas Eve 2013

We started the day out with Grandma and Grandpa arriving and then headed to the mall for a train ride and storytime with Santa,

 

Then it was off to the house for naptime and cookie decorating.  The girls decorated cookies for Santa with Grandma.

 

 And finally after some food and lots of waiting . . . it was time for some present opening!

 

 

 These 2 munchkins were present crazy this year - Marlie was much more agreeable to waiting her turn - but, it's the age . . .

 And Evan won the award for best reaction to a present for the night - he opened up his very own Thomas blanket and pillow made by Grandma and immediately laid down on the floor and waited to be covered up.

 Then it was time to head outside to sprinkle food for the reindeer.

 

 

And finally our family picture in front of the Christmas tree - I gave up on having everyone in nice matching dress up clothes - by 4pm I had 2 kids screaming for Christmas jammies . . . so we went with it . . .
