Grandma Theresa and Great Grandma Connie joined us this year for a Christmas Eve Dinner. Last year was our first year to have Christmas with my side of the family at our house. It made more sense for them to come here, rather than for all 7 of us to go to my mom's. She seems to really enjoy it, and has several times said "This is a great new tradition!" I never knew how much work went into preparing these dinner's until my mom relinquished the task to me.
Garrett loves to cook, in fact, one of the many things he'd like to be when he grows up is a Chef. He was in charge of the christmas cookies and did a terrific job.
The kids loved their gifts from Grandma Theresa. Sami's favorite gifts were her Chad and Ryan High School Musical Dolls and floor pillow..... OF COURSE!!!!! She is such a fan, and those were the only ones she did not have. Dylan loved his Batman and Robin action figures, Garrett hasn't stopped playing with his Creepy Crawler maker and loves his new pixos. Sydney loves her Glo Bear and Macy got the perfect gift - a pony in a purse (her 2 favorite things). Thanks Grandma!
After dinner and gifts, we all got jammies on and put out cookies and milk for Santa and a great big carrott for the reindeer. We also sprinkled reindeer food and glitter in the yard. We watched Santa on the Santa Tracker and saw that he was already in South America so the kids were in quite a hurry to get to sleep.
