This was the best Christmas Eve we've had in a while. With four kids between the ages of 2 and 4, the Santa anticipation was high. Earlier in the day, we'd made chocolate chip cookies, and Doug had the kids each put one on a plate for Santa. Then we got him a glass of egg nog and a candy cane and left them on the piano next to the tree to be sure he'd find them. (Boy did he like those cookies!) Each of the kids got to open one present. Dylan got Lightening McQueen pjs, Keilana got Disney Princesses, and the Tanner boys had matching Curious George. We got everybody in their jams, then read Luke 2, sang "Silent Night", said a family prayer and sent them all to bed (more or less). Santa still had some wrapping to finish, so Paul was on stair patrol, making sure the little hooligans didn't make it down to the first floor! :)
Ready to open their presents!!
