Better late than never, right? I hope so because this one's nearly a month late. Even still, I wanted to get this done so I can look back in the years to come and remember what we did during the holidays. Here's our Christmas Eve recap mostly in pictures.
After dinner we spent some time icing and decorating cookies for Santa...
When we finished decorating Santa's cookies we sat down and had some of the leftovers along with some sparking grape juice...
Then we let the boys open three gifts each. I didn't put their names on them and had them guess which three (wrapped) gifts were theirs. They each picked their own just by the shape and sound...I was quite impressed!
Then the boys enjoyed their new gifts while I made a rum cake to take to my in-laws on Christmas Day (next 2 taken with my iphone so please ignore the quality)
And lastly, Santa visited our house.
This was the best Christmas Eve that I can remember! We had so much fun as a family that night! Darren did have to work all night on Christmas Eve, but didn't have to be there until 9:30 pm so we made the most of our time together before he had to go. We had Christmas music on and everything just felt so festive. I remember feeling so happy as I went to bed on Christmas Eve!
